Newcastle results from the Australian 3 DaysThirty three Newcastle club members travelled to central Victoria to compete in the 2025 Australian 3 Days Carnival, held over Easter in the Loddon Shire west of Bendigo. This year's 3 Days competition attracted over 800 orienteers, with the combined times from all three days deciding the winners. Two days of the competition featured complex gold mining terrain, with Day 2 held in more familiar granite boulder country.
Ten Newcastle orienteers finished on the podium in their age class in the overall 3 Days results.
First: Jennifer Enderby (W55A), Stephen Craig (M55A).
Second: Erika Enderby (W20E), Martina Craig (W55A), Gayle Quantock (W60A), Baxter Peel (M14A).
Third: Lucy Jenkins (W10A), Scott Simson (M55A), Robert Vincent (M65A), Emile Altmann (M45AS).
Erika Enderby, running for NSW Stingers in W20 Elite, finished third in Friday's Prologue Sprint event, also held in gold mining terrain.
Consistent performances across the board from club members saw Newcastle finish third out of more than fifty clubs in the Club Trophy pointscore.
