They have contributed to environmental causes such as tree planting, park proclamations and the mapping of remote areas in South Australia, including Wilpena Pound.
In 1957 they produced a detailed map of Wilpena Pound which included creeks, ridges, tracks, prominent features and water supplies.
In 1959 further tracks were cut to nearby Mt Ohlssen-Bagge, and further afield in Mambray Creek and Waterfall Gully.
Their speciality is multi-day hikes carrying packs and camping out, often off track across private land (with landowner permission).
Members also organise extended club walks to Tasmania, Victoria, the Australian Alps, New Zealand and the Himalyala in India and Nepal.
