Cave Clan

Cave Clan is a primarily Australian group dedicated to urban exploration. The organization has branches in most states of Australia and in a few other countries. Unlike traditional caving groups they do not limit their activities to natural cavities. Founded in Melbourne by three teenagers, the Cave Clan has been in operation since January 26 1986; in subsequent years, several other underground exploration groups, such as the Drain Dwellers, have merged with the Cave Clan.
One pioneer of this tradition, often cited as an inspiration to the Cave Clan's founders, was said to have been Alf Sadlier, an Australian urban explorer active in the 1940s. The existence of such a tradition would be in character with the Australian larrikin ideal.
