South of the Lakes
This area is typical WA granite orienteering terrain with hills and streams, on the northern flank of the Helena River valley and with fewer thicket areas than Mt. Billy.
Note that this event is not at Jumbuck Hill, which appeared on a draft program, due to a bushfire early this year.
