Invitation to Upcoming Northern Tasmania Cave Rescue Exercise Autumn 2016
Any interested VSA members are invited to the upcoming Northern Tasmania Cave Rescue Training weekend in Mole Creek, Tasmania. The weekend will be held on the 9-10th April, 2016
It would be most beneficial for those with SRT equipment and training, although others may find it interesting.
It is a great opportunity to learn and practice new techniques and skills.
Al Warild and other interstate cavers will be attending the weekend, so it is also a great opportunity to learn from their experience.
