Mullumbimba Rover Unit

A bit of history! Programming emphasises service, hiking and skiing among regular Rover activities such as Mud Bash.

Mullumbimba Rover Crew became the new name of the A S Smith Rover Crew formed in 1978 by members of 2nd and 10th Camberwell Central Groups(taking its first female members in 1979). Members are registered at several Groups, some living overseas, and it has developed into one of Victoria’s biggest and most active Crews (36 members). The Crew’s annual Cocktail Night attracts over 200 revellers. Mullumbimba was a spirit of the aboriginal Arunta tribe, and means rain, fertililty and general well-being.

Did we feel the chill in the air this week?! On Wednesday evening several members attended the BCMG AGM, to celebrate all things related to the Bogong Rover Chalet and the High Plains 🏔️ Congratulations to MRU members elected onto the committee and thanks to those that served in the past year 👏 Also massive congrats to Ben and Aaron, who were invested as Bogong Rovers this winter season, reflecting their extensive service to the chalet!!

The chalet has been a longstanding place of importance for MRU, filled with laughter, tele turns and backcountry adventuring 🤙 This year we had members attend on Weeks 1,2,4,5 and 7, we just couldn’t get enough!! Highlights included long tours & mountain top picnics, evening singalongs, tow rides, music video performances and the usual chalet shenanigans - GREAT SUCCESS!

Bring on 2027 and let it snow! ❄️❄️

Recently MRU put vertical skills and balance to the test, with unit members trying to build the best stack! With ceiling’s the limit, many achieved ultimate crateness and made it to the top! 🧗📦

Wow, what a spectacular night! The final curtain has fallen on MRU’s 2026 Cocktail Night and what an epic evening it was! 🎪

A huge thank you from the entire event team to everyone who stepped into the spotlight. From dazzling costumes to show-stopping dance moves, you made the event a truly unforgettable celebration!✨ An extra special thanks to our incredible band and DJs too for keeping the big top buzzing and the dance floor alive all night long!

We hope you had as much fun as we did and we can’t wait to welcome you back next year, as we plan for our 40th Annual Cocktail Night! 🎉

Until then...the circus has left town 🎭🤡

Over the weekend it was time for another bittersweet celebration for MRU - Luke’s Boot! 🥾

Reconvening under the moonlight, we said goodbye in a campfire-side and candlelit ceremony at Cresco Scout Camp! Hearing stories from international moots, region endeavours and local adventures - it was clear to see that Luke fully took on all the opportunities that Scouts can offer!

Thanks Luke for the years of service, memory making and fun with MRU - we can’t wait to see what you get up to next! ❤️💛💚

Over the long weekend, a group of MRU & friends headed down the coast to tackle an ambitious adventure, dubbed the Great Ocean Speedrun! Hiking from Apollo Bay to the Twelve Apostles in 4 days, the group tackled river crossings, coastal climbs and long days underfoot 🥾 Fuelled by copious amounts of chocolate and a need for speed, there was no stopping this group on the epic journey!

Thanks to all the wonderful legends who supported this trip too!

‘We’re all mad here’ at Scouthike 2026! ☕️ Over the weekend MRU hosted a Mad Hatter’s tea party for the hundreds of scouts that came to visit our activity base!

Deciphering deadly from delicious, detective skills were put to the test in identifying uses of native plants ☠️🌱 This was followed by a campsite-renowned natural feast of nettle tea and the ‘best-ever’ wattleseed damper!! 🍞

Well done and thanks to all the scouts that came to visit and to the volunteers for another great event ⚜️

MRU have been very busy constructing and creating - with a number of hands on projects lately🪜🎨

Can you guess what we’ve been making?!

Over the weekend, MRU hit the trails with an epic adventure to Stones Outstation 🥾🏕️

Conquering hills, downpours and lengthy water collection missions, we truly experienced Lake Eildon in all its forms 🌧️🪾

And we can’t forget the epic feast that fuelled our journey - a spectacular three course campfire banquet that kept us going from bakery to bakery👨‍🍳

To the next journey!

Hi everyone,

MRU has been going through the den recently and are wondering if anyone remembers or has any stories of what these historic bottles were from/used for.

Let us know through a comment or private message, we would love to know more about the history of these!

Thanks,
Poppy R
Quartermaster
