The conditions are shaping up to be spectacular!

With the moon illuminated at 96.6%, you may feel like you need sunglasses well into the evening. The moon rises at approximately 5:00 pm and will be high above the horizon by dusk at 7:00 pm, providing outstanding natural light throughout the event.

What Awaits You?
The terrain is ideal for navigation and adventure:

No troublesome boulder fields underfoot
Excellent visibility
A touch of high country
Plenty of interesting undulating terrain to keep things challenging and enjoyable
Thanks to the later start, you won't be roasted by the Territory sun. Instead, you'll experience the stunning colours of the late afternoon and evening as you and your teammates set out across the eastern reaches of Coomalie Farm to unravel the mystery of the Eastern Enigma.

What is Rogaining?

Rogaining is a sport involving long-distance cross-country navigation, teamwork, endurance, strategy, and map reading.

In simpler terms, it's spending hours in the bush with friends, making ambitious plans, discovering new shortcuts that aren't actually shortcuts, and having a fantastic time while doing it.

It's suitable for all ages and fitness levels and encourages respect for the bush, self-reliance, navigational skills, and teamwork. It also teaches valuable life lessons, such as:

Never trust the person who says, "It's just over this ridge."

Everything looks closer on the map.

Food tastes approximately 300% better after several hours in the bush.

So, stay happy, get your team organised, start sharpening those navigation skills, and begin negotiations over who will carry the snacks.
