Requirements: Previous caving or other suitable experience required last Yarrangobily trip was some particpant's first caving trip so if you're interested speak with me.

4 day trip to the NSW side of the Snowy Mountains to go caving and possibly some bushwalking too at Cooleman and Yarrangobilly (permits pending)

The public holiday is the thursday so coming on the trip means you'll need the Friday off (work/uni/whatever) too.

Due to lead time required for permit application with national parks signups will close April 12th.

Yarrangobilly is a spectacular caving area with lengthy caves that often contain a combination of large, very well decorated chambers and smaller passages and tunnels.

Nearby Cooleman has more numerous, shorter caves often just as well decorated set in the sides of a pretty river gorge so even just walking to them has great scenery.

For those conisdering coming photo's from other MUMC Yarrangobilly trips (and one non MUMC cooleman trip) can be viewed at:
