Il Draino is the official zine of the Cave Clan, an Australian urban exploration group founded in 1986 by Doug (also known as Dougo), Sloth, and Woody. Established in 1989, Il Draino began as a satirical publication but evolved into a comprehensive chronicle of the group's underground activities, featuring valuable information and humor. By 2018, the zine had reached 95 issues, documenting the Cave Clan's explorations and culture.
Doug, the primary force behind Il Draino, has been instrumental in shaping the Cave Clan's identity. His dedication to documenting the group's adventures has resulted in a DIY publishing empire that includes audio recordings, video diaries, photographs, and the zine itself. Doug's commitment to preserving the Cave Clan's history is evident in his efforts to reproduce back issues of Il Draino, enhancing legibility and quality while maintaining the zine's original spirit.
Il Draino serves as both a historical record and a cultural artifact, reflecting the Cave Clan's ethos and the broader urban exploration community in Australia. Through its pages, readers gain insight into the group's exploits, challenges, and the unique subculture that has developed around exploring the hidden spaces beneath cities.
