2017 Australian Orienteering Carnival - Report 2

Events 3, 4, and 5
Australian Schools Champs and the Bathurst 3 Days

The state schools teams were in fierce competition in the School Sport Australia Orienteering Championships. Uringan Serena Doyle was a member of the NSW team for these competitions.

The Bathurst 3 Days ran in parallel on the same maps. A less formal competition, the best two results were used to determine the overall winners.

While there were a number of club members running, almost no one ran fast enough, or accurately enough (even very experienced orienteers occasionally mis-punch), to make the podium.

Day 1 Roseberg State Forest

 Lovely forest, no big landmarks.

Day 2 All Saints College, Bathurst

A big campus, lots of buildings, people going in all directions, and you had to turn the map over half way.

3 Jane Boland

Day 3 Macquarie Woods

 Ups and downs, pine and eucalypt forest, and a flock of very noisy black cockatoos flapping over the course and assembly area.
