Welcome to Newcastle Orienteering Club

 Orienteering is a competitive or non-competitive recreational activity in which participants use a detailed map, and usually a compass, to navigate between checkpoints on an unfamiliar course in bush terrain, parkland or urban areas.  

If you like a physical and mental challenge while exploring the outdoors, orienteering is the sport for you!

NOY7 Wallaroo

RESULTS | SPLITS (Winsplits)

Directions

FROM THE SOUTH – Head north on the Pacific Hwy from Hexham, through Heatherbrae. Travel for 1.7 km past the Italia Road turn-off and turn left. After about 50 m turn right along the old Pacific Hwy. Follow this sealed road for about 750 m to the assembly area at the old rest area on the left. Parking is along either side of the road before the assembly area. Watch out for runners who may be heading back along this access road on their way to the start.

Map

Motorbikes and horse riders are frequent users of the area – take care.

Start
