Wee Jasper is located in NSW on the Yass to Tumut road but is also close to
Canberra. It is in a valley at the top of Burrinjuk Dam.
It is a small township originally based around the sheep industry, now a
holiday area for fishermen, bush walkers and cavers. There is a shop, small
country hotel (very small) and a variety of budget style accommodation.
ACCOMMODATION We would normally rent one of the old houses that are used by holiday makers and cavers. There are also old Shearer's Quarters for larger groups and there are self contained units at the Hotel.The camping ground has good facilities for campers and is also an excellent option in the warmer months. CAREY'S CAVE No visit to Wee Jasper is complete without a visit to Carey's show cave. This is an extra fee, but a small one and is well worth including into your adventure.Carey's Cave has excellent examples of most forms of Cave Decorations. We will also find cave decorations in the Wild Caves that we explore. THE ADVENTURE We start with horizontal Cave systems, then we will progress to practising abseiling etc on a cliff outside of the Caves and once we have mastered these skills, we will abseil into one of the Caverns and explore harder to access places. The practice and use of other techniques such as the use of steel wire ladders and single rope ascending systems etc will also be included. THE COST We can conduct Adventures of two or more full days duration ex Wee Jasper.
