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.

Other events require pre-entry and for that you need to know about (and register with) Eventor - read the Eventor FAQ.


Mawarra win again

Mawarra are creating a winning streak to rival Queensland in State of Origin after taking out yet another Sydney South West primary schools championships.

Their maroon colour matches that of the "Cane Toads" and they again featured in many of the age-class top-3 placings at Camden Equestrian Centre on Wednesday.

We had more than 300 eager students in Years 4-6 go for a map walk with a coach, then do an age race, and finally a mass start relay that is always the highlight of the afternoon.

We loved overhearing one teacher - who is retiring on Friday - say: "I wish I had known about this day years ago. It's fantastic."

A huge thank you to organisers Sandy Stewart and Lyn Malmgron and their team of helpers. You can see photos of the day on our Facebook page here. Feel free to download them for personal use.

Last week the SHOO club hosted the Southern Highlands high schools gala day at Mittagong, where Macarthur Anglican College prevailed at their first attempt.
