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.

Want to enter an event? You can see what's on by looking at the Coming Events at left or by going to the Event Calendar. Some events are enter on the day - you just turn up and register at the start. Other events require pre-entry and for that you need to know about (and register with) Eventor - read the Eventor FAQ.


Georgia, Toby selected in national squads

Juniors Toby Wilson and Georgia Jones are the new NSW faces in Orienteering Australia's High Performance Squads for 2015.

The OA high performance pathway has been thoroughly reworked in the past 15 months to define a clearer path from talented junior to world championship athlete.

Garingal Year 12 student Toby has shown he can mix it with the open men, taking out a Sydney Sprint recently. He comes into the OA Junior Development Squad.

One rung beneath, in the Targeted Talented Athlete Squad, is Uringan Georgia. The Year 11 student was in the Australian All Schools Honour team last year.

Three-time JWOC rep Michele Dawson has moved from the OA junior development squad into the national development squad. Younger brother Aidan is in the junior squad for a second year.

Our ONSW representatives in the OA squads are:

Elite HPSJulian Dent (CC).
