Southern Caving Society (SCS) Publications

The Southern Caving society was founded in April 1965 (as a breakaway group from the Tasmanian Caverneering Club (TCC)) and it was based in Lenah Valley, Tasmania. Early caving areas were Mole Creek, Maydena and the Hastings Valley. In December 1996 they re-merged with the Tasmanian Caving Club, as well as the Tasmanian Cave and Karst Research Group, to form the Southern Tasmanian Caverneers (STC).

SCS produced a caving journal called "The Southern Caver", with the first issue being published in July 1967. The first editors were most likely B. James and R. Cockerill. After vol.12 no.4 the publication adopted an issue number approach, starting with 49, the 49th journal to come out since vol.1 no.1. The final issue was number 59, edited by the late Jeff Butt and published in August 1995. After the merger, the name Southern Caver was retained for use as the STC Occasional Journal, which was first published in April 2005 and continued the numbering. There was also a news sheet called SCS News in the early 1970s, which the STC Library holds a few copies of, and the ASF Library has 5 of these plus a single "Newsy Bits" issue that was printed in 1993.

This logo was printed on volumes 8 to 10, there were other variations. All material published in SCS is still copyright and should not be reproduced without the permission of the authors
