We were lucky with the weather, as there was no rain at the event. This made it easier for orienteers to navigate around the rocks, large and small, farmland and thick bush, explore the tracks, and generally find their way from start to finish.
Nearly 70 intrepid orienteers turned up to the event - some later than others as it is a long drive to Frazzle. There was even a FIFO orienteer: Russell Buchanon flew his plane to and from Frazzle and made use of the air strip there!
After perusing some old (paper!) map bank reports held in the O-Shed, we (Nick D and Tony S) decided to investigate ‘the other side of the road’ at Mt Billy and we found some nice terrain that had not seen an orienteering event for several years. We discovered an excellent assembly area right next to the road and close to the Helena River but realised that the map needed updating.
A wet and wild weekend greeted the course setters and the small number of intrepid competitors who turned up to Dwellingup for some fabulous courses set by Veronika Kubinova. There were more controls on the courses than we are used to in WA - a bit of European influence. The courses tested endurance, route choice, and fine navigation, and the variety of tracks tested riding skills (and wading through the high water in a creek crossing).
