Update on the Permanent Orienteering Course in Centennial Park

Just a bit of an update on the permanent orienteering course in Centennial Park which our club is involved in.

Centennial Parklands has partnered with Uringa and Conservation Australia volunteers to set up a permanent orienteering course in Centennial . The project started about a year ago and is nearing completion with control site markers going in by the end of February, hopefully!! Linda & Dave set the courses (with a total of 31 control sites), and along with OANSW Development Officer Barbara Hill attended several meetings throughout 2011 to help push this project along.

Following article has been published in the Centennial Parklands summer news bulletin, see page 5:

This year also marks 40 years of orienteering and mapping in Centennial Park, with the 1st ever event held in April 1972, so the opening of this permanent course in 2012 will signify a great milestone in the Uringa Club history.

It is anticipated that the official opening will be held in conjunction with our Metroleage/Juniorleague event on 17 June.
