Navigators Xmas Workshop

Navigators Xmas Workshop
A Navigators Xmas Workshop will be conducted within Litchfield National Park on Saturday, 5 December 2026.
Teams may commence at any time from 7:00 am and must finish no later than 7:00 pm, giving participants the flexibility to decide how they approach the course and manage their time throughout the day.
Experienced teams will be encouraged to mentor participants who wish to improve their navigation skills and gain confidence in:
Route planning
Map-to-ground interpretation
Compass use
Distance estimation
General navigation techniques in the field
The aim is to provide a relaxed and enjoyable environment where participants can learn from experienced navigators while exploring the park, tackling challenges, and building confidence, one control at a time.
Whether you already have a team or are entering as an individual, please complete the entry form as soon as possible. Early entries will help us plan catering arrangements and allow us to balance teams by pairing less experienced participants with navigators who can provide guidance, support and valuable navigation insights throughout the event.
When completing the entry form, please ensure all blue fields are completed. Please indicate whether you intend to camp on Friday and/or Saturday night, whether you will be joining us for breakfast on Sunday morning, and if you would like to participate in the Secret Santa. Participants wishing to camp on Friday night should note that additional camping fees apply. You will need to select and enter the fee applicable to your circumstances. If you are unsure which fee category applies to you, please contact the organisers before submitting your entry.
We look forward to seeing you in Litchfield for a great weekend of learning, adventure and Christmas cheer.
Entry Includes
Friday and/or Saturday night campsite accommodation
Saturday evening dinner
Sunday morning breakfast
Access to mentoring and navigation coaching throughout the workshop
This is not your typical Rogaining event. While there are challenges to consider and points to collect, success is less about speed and more about strategy, planning and decision-making. The teams that get the most from the workshop will be those that take the time to think about their approach, learn from experienced navigators and enjoy the journey.
Lose the Track, Not the Plot.
Camping & Facilities
Entries will close at 11:00 pm on 1 December 2026 so that camping and catering numbers can be finalised.
The Education Facility includes toilets, hot showers, a large undercover dining area and kitchen facilities.
Tent camping is preferred. There is limited space near the amenities block for participants with ute-based camping setups or small camping trailer arrangements. If this applies to you, please get in touch to discuss options.
Where possible, please consider carpooling. This will reduce the number of vehicles travelling to the venue and help manage the limited parking available on site.
Whether you are an experienced Rogainer looking to share your knowledge or a newcomer keen to build confidence in the bush, this workshop offers a unique opportunity to learn, explore and enjoy the company of fellow adventurers and like-minded navigators in the heart of Litchfield National Park.
We look forward to helping you build your navigation skills, make new friends and enjoy a memorable Christmas-themed Rogaining experience.
