Learn to Orienteer - Port Macquarie

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.


2021 O'Shea entries open

Entries are now open for one of our unique annual events - the O'Shea 2-Days on the Central Coast on March 6-7.

Rumbalara and Mt Penang Gardens are the event locations; both are just off the Pacific Highway and hence easily reached from Sydney and Newcastle.

This event is intended for pairs, though individuals are also welcome, and features three runs in 24 hours: a Saturday afternoon relay, a Saturday night individual run, and a Sunday morning team score course.

The traditional prizes of fruit cakes adorned with spearmint leaves (pictured) will again be on offer for the winners.

Entries close March 3 via Eventor, where you can also find the information flyer.

Meanwhile, Melissa Robertson and Justin Stafford (Newcastle) took out the Central Coast summer series after the final event on a tricky new map at Narara on Sunday.

Melissa bagged a perfect 600 from her six best scores, while Justin finished with 591 points.

There was again a separate table based on handicaps, where newcomers Kelly Murphy and Tim Strube (both CC) had comfortable winning margins.

You can find the final women's tallies here and men's tallies here, and all the scores and maps on the results page here.

A big thank you to all the mappers, setters, controllers and organisers.
