The Club offers access to the Museum’s scientists.
The South Australian Museum’s scientists are at the centre of our Club’s program and their talents and exciting discoveries are showcased by the Club’s exceptional expeditions and events. The Club founded in 1987, is young in spirit and experimental in its diverse program.
Every year the Club offers a program of evening events and expeditions. Expeditions can be as short as a day or up to three weeks.
In November 2024 Members travelled to Tasmanian for a multifaceted expedition including caving and cave-dwelling invertebrates, gems, wooden boats, an alpine walk, great food and fascinating talks from local experts. The Expedition Leader’s report with photos and summaries of the talks can be found here.
In October members enjoyed a wonderful day of bees and trees at Kitticoola in the Adelaide Hills. A detailed report with photos can be found here.
In November another Adelaide Hills Expedition, this time at night near the summit of Mt Lofty Dr Ben Parslow led us on a journey of discovery of nocturnal insects. A detailed report with magnificent photos can be found here.
Education, entertainment and travel.
The Club’s aims are to enlighten and have a good time – standards are high and events are staged with flair. Destinations are chosen for their scientific interest and beauty, often with privileged access. We aim to see the world through the multi-disciplined eyes of the Museum, which can be a life transforming experience.
Your kind of people
The Club’s objective is to provide a network of influential people to give support to The Museum through influence and raising money for the Museum Foundation. On joining, you can expect to be among people who are at a stage in life when they can take an interest in the natural world and let their curiosity flourish through access to authoritative knowledge.
Separate from the Waterhouse Club, the Museum has an excellent program of activities for families and children which is best accessed through Museum Membership.
