If you ever get a chance to go to an ASF conference (the next one is in Buchan in 2025), I highly recommend you do. As well as getting to hang out with an amazing group of somewhat like minded people, you also get to hear first hand what is going on in caving circles across Australia and the world to some extent. There are also excursions and fun activities like speleo sports.
For me, the best part of the recent conference in Ceduna was the post conference caving. I do like to be underground. Here are just a few photos of some of caves several of us from WASG visited and more importantly some of the awesome people we got to visit them with.
