First used for an Australian Championships Hill Park Dale offers first class orienteering terrain. Complex granite outcrops with rocky ground underfoot and fallen timber make for slower going in places, interspersed with fast open running in the paddocks and clearer areas. If you care to take the time to look there are some magnificent views from the top of the hill and very little scratchy bush which makes this area a very pleasant one to visit.

ECU Joondalup, Saturday 13th August

One of the most anticipated events of the year! Join us at ECU Joondalup to either take partor cheer for fellow orienteers on what promises to be an exciting and challenging event.

Sunday 7 August 2016

This area has been used infrequently, but exhibits a range of differing vegetation types. For those that entered the excellent Malmalling SW event set by Noel Schoknecht, this area is completely different. There are few (if any) forests of grass trees to obscure your running, but there are a number of different terrains to test your navigation and fitness. Whatever you do on a Sunday do not miss this event!
