Welcome to Newcastle Orienteering Club

Orienteering is a competitive or non-competitive recreational activity in which participants use a detailed map, and usually a compass, to navigate between checkpoints on an unfamiliar course in bush terrain, parkland or urban areas.  

If you like a physical and mental challenge while exploring the outdoors, orienteering is the sport for you!

With great sadness we advise that Russell passed away early Saturday morning (28 Sept 2019) after a long, courageous and very determined fight against his illness. He was a long term member that contributed willingly and enthusiastically toward the betterment of our club, especially with the technicalities of all things mapping.
