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, Cave Clan has been in operation since January 26 1986.
The organisation does not vandalise areas it explores, and has an excellent safety record; no one has ever been killed during Cave Clan activities.
Cave Clan has been the subject of many unfounded rumours throughout its existence, including allegations of criminal activity and ritual behaviour. These rumours have all proven to be baseless.
The Cave Clan publishes a photocopied zine named "Il Draino". This zine may be obtained from the Cave Clan or from various alternative and countercultural bookshops in Australia, and includes photographs taken in underground formation. Additionally, stickers with the Cave Clan's postal address and the pseudonyms of Clan members appear from time to time in public spaces. It is rumoured that the Cave Clan or some of its members are connected to the profusion of stickers reading "This Is A Heavy Product".
