This Saturday’s Metro Series event takes us south to the beachside suburb of Coogee. This scatter event will take orienteers through the complex local street network. With more than the usual number of cut through paths, cul-de-sacs and lakes on the map, picking the optimal route will be part of the challenge. 

Friendly people will be on hand to assist if you need it and newcomers are welcome.
