• Emerald Park, Edgewater
  • Saturday, 01 February 2025

Come join us at Edgewater for this season's newest map and enjoy the distinctive topography that this area entails. The map features bush tracks, many parks, a couple of schools and of course the lakeside that the suburb was named for. Most importantly, and what differentiates this urban map from all the others, are the impressively high limestone cliffs that are the main feature of the area.

Edgewater is a former quarry and the course setter has attempted to make the best use of the quarried areas. There are also a few hills that you might curse the setter for, but the views are worthwhile.

Pre-entry is preferred and will be available via Eventor until 4pm on Saturday, February 1st.
