MUMC - Melbourne University Mountaineering Club

Welcome to MUMC, an outdoors club that has been around since 1944. In this time, we have run thousands of trips, ranging from day walks where you can see amazing landscapes, wildlife and flora — to major adventures on big rivers, deep caves, cliff faces and high mountains that offer rare opportunities to master the demands of such environments and of life.

Read about past adventures in our magazine, or come along to our Tuesday night meetings and find out more about us.

Membership is open to all, and you can join online. Already a member? Login here.

Get ready everyone, because it’s time for MUMC to open up the Adventure Grant for another year!

Every year, MUMC offers a grant of $3000 to support a trip that is outside the regular scope of what the club runs. This grant aims to support the ambitious, creative, and adventurous spirit of the club. Whether it’s a remote paddling journey, an overseas mountaineering project, a first ascent mission, or something that it entirely unique, it’s up to you! The Adventure Grant is all about supporting members to turn their bold ideas into reality.
