SUSS cavers looking out over the Cooleman Plain.

Trip List

All upcoming trips are listed here. Email the trip leader to sign up.

All trips are suitable for beginners, unless otherwise stated. It is YOUR responsibility to inform the trip supervisor of any relevant medical conditions which may in any way affect your fitness, such as diabetes, asthma and the like. There will usually be costs involved when going on any trip. Check the Beginner’s Handbook for information on the expected costs, for area-specific information, and general info about caving. Alternatively, ask the trip coordinator or your driver if you still have doubts about how much a trip will cost you.

PLEASE NOTE: If you would like to join a trip, please get in touch with the trip leader and let them know 2 weeks prior to the trip (you may be able to sign up closer to the time but this is dependent on numbers). Trip leaders will usually reach out with the trip details and request confirmation of your attendance a week before the trip.

You will need to provide the following details:

  • Your previous experience with caving (if none, that’s okay!)
  • What suburb you are leaving from and if you require a ride, or can give someone a lift
  • If you need to borrow SUSS gear. Things you’ll need for the trips that can be borrowed from SUSS include:
    • helmets
    • head torches (bring your own batteries - 8 x AA)
    • overalls
    • tents, sleeping bags, sleeping mats
  • No pets on trips

If this is your first trip, please ensure you read through our Beginners Handbook (click for link).

Trip Calendar

*NB: For Multiday trips (eg a weekend trip that is from Saturday to Sunday), most people usually depart the night before (eg on the Friday) as the caves are a few hour’s drive away from Sydney
