UNE Outdoor Adventure Club

UNEOAC is an affiliated member of SportUNE, focused on climbing, camping & bushwalking Our club is an affiliated member of SportUNE.

Although no one here can remember back that far, historical documents indicate the club was formed way back in 1960. In those days we were known as the UNE Mountaineering Club, but we’ve since changed our name to the UNE Outdoor Adventure Club (UNE OAC). Club activities have ranged from hang gliding to mountain biking, orienteering, ski-touring (now a separate club), bushwalking, hiking, camping,

climbing, caving, canoeing, kayaking and canyoning. Current interests are restricted mainly to walking, climbing, caving, mountain biking, kayaking and canoeing, although we’re always open to new suggestions! With rugged gorge country and the extensive National Parks surrounding the New England Tablelands right on our doorstep, our club has the ideal playground. Even though we focus on creating great experiences for UNE students, our club is open to everyone with an interest in outdoor adventuring. You can become a member of the UNE Outdoor Adventure Club here: https://unione.unelife.com.au/Clubs/outdooradventure

UNE OAC is open to UNE students and the general public.

Some recent snaps of our club members discovering some new trad climbing routes in the New England (potentially rediscovering old lines unrecorded and lost to the mists of time - these climbs are that good it seems crazy they havent been climbed before!).

A wise man once said your ability to discover and complete First Ascents is aligned with your willingness to hike further than everyone else (unless you're just ridiculously strong and can climb things nobody else can).

Be sure to keep an eye out for upcoming club trips!
