Welcome to the UTS (University of Technology, Sydney) Outdoor Adventure Club website. This is where the action starts and finishes - but everything else happens outside!
A lot of people have been asking about the club, what we do, why they should join - and here are a few points:
- There are over 100 club trips each year for all skill levels
- We run a variety of activities in the outdoors
- Most of the required gear is provided free for club members
- We know where the coolest places in Australia are
- It's bloody cheap to join!
The OAC is a volunteer run club, affiliated with, but not exclusive to, the University of Technology. Sydney's only inner-city University. Our mandate is to get students and city dwellers as far from those sky-scrapers as possible. Anyone can join, and if you're keen - we welcome as much help as we can get. This club runs on enthusiasm and good karma alone.
What ever your interests are - make sure you keep your eye on the activities, as trips are posted every day and fill up fast. Get out there!
