A Mosey Monsoon Miler
An Urban Rogaine
Saturday 22nd February 2025
Starting from One Brewery Coonawarra Road Winnellie.
Happy New Year People,
To start the 2025 Rogaining Calendar we are organising an Urban Rogaine utilising the areas of Winnellie, Berrimah, Charles Darwin and Hidden valley. Hopefully, the weather will be in our side and all the tracks remain open. It is the Northern Monsoon season, who knows what will happen. But whatever does, we will be prepared to conduct an event that will test and hone your team's navigational prowess. There will be three separate course options that will suit you and your team, two on foot- 5 hr Meander and 3 hr Mini and one on bikes the 4hr Mash. MTBs are best, given that there will be controls on the southern side of the course in amongst mostly natural terrain and gravel tracks.
Date for a Mosey Monsoon Miler Urban Rogaine is Saturday 22nd February 2025
The Start and finish will be at One Mile Brewery, they will be feeding us in the evening with a delicious range of Pizza options.

What is Rogaining?
Rogaining is the sport of long distance cross country navigation. Teamwork, endurance, strategy and map reading are features of the sport. Rogaining is a team activity for people of all ages and levels of fitness, which aims to support and encourage people to develop respect for and enjoyment of rural and bushland environments, and to encourage the development of navigational skills, self reliance, general fitness, and the ability to work in a team.
About the NTRA
Rogaining found its way to the NT in 1999 (about a quarter of a century after the sport's invention in Victoria), courtesy of the energetic Andy Black and David Palmer who organised the first NT rogaine, the Croc and Rock, at Litchfield National Park in August of that year.
With their rogaining experience from southern states, Andy and David spent much of early 1999 battling Wet season humidity, flooded creeks, thick high grass and the almost totally unroaded bush of Litchfield National Park to set the course for what turned out to be an historic (and for many competitors very tough) 24 hour event.
