Welcome to Orienteering NSW

Orienteering is a sport that challenges both the body and the mind. It's also loads of fun!

The aim is to use a special orienteering map to navigate your way around a course and visit marked check points along the way. You choose a course that suits your age and experience and proceed at your own pace: walk, jog or run. It is a race but you decide if you want to just race yourself or be the next world champion! The course may take you through urban areas, parks, schools, farmland or forests.

Events are conducted weekly across NSW and beginners are welcome at all events.

Boronia Park update wows Metro mob

Another 200+ attendees lapped up the new and improved Boronia Park map for MetrO League round 1 on Sunday.

This was rescheduled from May and gave Garingal's Jim Merchant more time to turn what was a summer series map with random rock and some tracks into a highly accurate depiction of the terrain.

It allowed setter Ian Jessup to contain Divisions 3-5 within the park, while stretching Divisions 1-2 out to Sugarloaf Point on some long legs. The unusual map scales meant legibility was enhanced.

The track network in Boronia Park undid some competitors, but not the KNOX boys who continued their strong unbeaten runs in Divisions 3 and 5.

Garingal Goannas broke their drought in Division 1 against previously unbeaten Bennelong, while the GO Frill Necks are unbeaten in Divison 2. In Division 4, Garingal, SHOO-IKO and Big Foot have a four-point gap over the rest of the field.

The next round is July 28 at Galston, also hosted by Garingal.

You can find all the result on the ML web page here.
