Clubnight at Docklands - September 2009

Our trips are generally out in the open, however the next clubnight (Monday 7th September, 8:00pm) will provide an insight into a somewhat more underground activity. The Victorian Speleological Society will give a presentation, taking you on a journey through some of Australia's spectacular caves which aren't open to the public.

We will also be trialling a new clubnight location at Docklands. The current venue at the Redbank Hotel has had a mixed response since clubnights began being held there last year. Some like the informal pub atmosphere, while others dislike it for the same reason, along with the location not being central enough to readily access from a station.

The new location is "The Hub" (Cinema room), 17 Waterview Walk, Docklands, a modern facility well equipped for audio-visual presentations. Free parking is available after 6.30pm, whilst for those using public transport it is a short walk or tram ride (no.'s 70 or 48 on Collins St) from Southern Cross station.

We encourage everyone to come along for what promises to be an interesting clubnight and also to let us know what you think of the new venue.



YHA Bushwalking Photo Competition

A reminder that YHA Bushwalking has launched its first club photo competition, with over $700 prizes including a Macpac Cascade 75 litre hiking pack. All you have to do is take a photo on a club walk - it's as simple as that.

The important points to note are:
- The photos must have been taken on a YHA Bushwalking trip on or after November 2008.
- There are three categories (landscape, wildlife, people), with a maximum of three entries allowed per category per person
- Entry closes 9th November 2009, the winners will be announced at the end-of-year Christmas function.

Full details and conditions of entry are available here.
