Want to try Orienteering? Don't know what its really all about? Want to have a go for free?

Well Newcastle Orienteering Club has establised a permanent course at Blue Gum Hills Regional park at Minmi, in conjunction with NPWS. The course is available to use whenever the park is open.

Print a copy here, pick up a copy of the orienteering map from Tree Top Adventures or contact the local NPWS office (4946 4100) to have a copy emailed.

It is left up to you to complete in the order you like. Will you go numerically? odds then evens?
