General Information:
Adelaide University Mountain Club (AUMC) is one of the largest (300+ members)
and vibrant clubs at Adelaide University. The club offers members the opportunity to participate in exciting and challenging activities far removed from their usual study (or work) commitments. Core activities of the club include:
- Hiking
- Rockclimbing and Mountaineering
- Canoeing and Kayaking
- Cycling
- Cross-Country Skiing
- Rogaining, including the annual AUMC 24 Hour Walk
- Endurance and multi-sport events
Popular destinations for rockclimbing and hiking include the Adelaide Hills and Flinders Ranges, the Northern Territory and other interstate locations. The Victorian Alps, the Grampians, the Blue Mountains and Tasmania are also major destinations, with longer trips usually occurring in the University holidays.
Intrepid club members also venture overseas to such destinations as New Zealand, Nepal and South America.
The club also offers a gear hiring service, providing members with excellent quality outdoor gear at very affordable rates.Of course, there is a huge social side to the club as well, with regular AUMC Lunches and Pub Nights (the Unibar is next to our gear room!) and ongoing events throughout the year.
Best of all, membership is really cheap! (See below).
So get involved - and GO AWAY! (On a trip, of course!)
Club contacts with correct details are listed on our website at www.aumc.asn.au (on the 'Committee' page). Our Secretary's details are probably best for the Sports website.
