The home of Orienteering for Macarthur, Liverpool and the Southern Highlands of NSW
Orienteering is an adventurous, action-packed sport where competitors navigate themselves by map and compass. Traditionally a bush sport, modern orienteering sees participants sprinting through cities, traversing suburbs, and exploring our local bushland.
Every event is a race, and an individual adventure all of its own.
Come and adventure with SHOO.
Highlands Forest Series 2025
This year we are running 4 events in our bush series. There are 4 courses for you to select from - Long Hard, Short Hard, Moderate and Easy (from 2km to 5 or 6km). Starts are between 10:30 and 11:30 with course closure at 1:00pm. They are a great way to progress from street/park orienteering to bush orienteering (the easy courses use tracks for navigation). Instruction will be available.
The first event will be on Sunday 30 March on the Welby map (near Mittagong). Car parking is on Meranie Street, Welby, where the mountain bike trails start and next to the hockey pitches.
