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.

Intrepid Space Racers not deterred by cold weather

Space Racing at Bicentennial Park this week attracted a set of hardy souls not put off by a little cold weather and a touch of drizzle.  A  group of over 40 children from Maroubra kept the ONSW busy as they helped the youngsters tackle the score course around the park.  Bicentennial Park is a perfect place for Space Racing with it’s beautiful parkland, path networks, lakes and streams and even the odd statue to navigate around.  Quickest around the course was Aidan Dawson, Junior Squad member, in a zippy 18 minutes. With juice still in his legs he joined the efforts of the fellow Junior Squad members, Lawrence  and Georgia Jones, and Daniel Hill as they went out again to shadow and coach some of the younger racers in groups.
