About the MUMC

The Melbourne University Mountaineering Club is an outdoors club for both the University and the community. With members active in most outdoor activities, the club is an excellent way to meet like minded outdoors people, and go on adventures together. Membership in the club is open to outdoors enthusiasts, students and graduates (of any university).

We meet at 7 pm almost every Tuesday evening of the year. Meetings are often informal, and provide a convenient place to learn more about the club, find out what trips are planned, and hear about everyone's latest adventures. Occasionally, our meetings feature special guests, slide shows, and information and how to evenings.

Who are we?

Our membership is primarily composed of young adults, including students and young professionals. Our membership ranges from 300-500 members, of which about 40-50 are active on a weekly basis. Usually, several trips are planned for any given weekend. Our most active sports, bushwalking, climbing, and (in season) cross country skiing typically run trips every weekend. Our members organise trips at all levels, from day walks around Melbourne to mountaineering in New Zealand. While enthusiasm is a requirement, previous experience is not necessary.

Many of our members also volunteer to help make the outdoors a better place. The MUMC is a member of Bush Search and Rescue Victoria, and we also organise conservation works with Parks Victoria, the VCC, and others.
