The Winter 24 hour State Championship rogaine will be somewhat different to previous events. We will not need to erect our usual Hash House and Admin tents as we will be using the onsite facilities. The rogaine site is about two hours driving south east of the eastern suburbs of Perth. A few kilometers of gravel leads to a reasonably flat area where camping will be available for tents and caravans on Friday and Saturday nights with a slightly more restricted camping area than the usual. The rogaine country will be mainly forest and some farm areas. You will not need to cross many fences. The forest is mostly open with little scrub. The area contains a large number of tracks varying from good to impassable by vehicle. Hence the name of the event. The map will be of A3 size and the scale will be 1:50,000. Expect to see and hear lots of native animals. Hurdles of fallen trees are skillfully placed to catch tired legs and to provide a habitat for some of the animals.

Adult $60, Junior (10 - 18) $30, Child (under 10) Free

Rogaining is the sport of long distance cross-country navigation in which teams of two to five members visit as many checkpoints as possible in twenty-four hours. Teams travel entirely on foot, navigating by map and compass between checkpoints in terrain that varies from open farmland to hilly forest. A central base camp provides hot meals throughout the event and teams may return at any time to eat, rest or sleep. Teams travel at their own pace and anyone from children to grandparents can experience the personal satisfaction that comes from cross-country navigation at their own level of competition and comfort.

Do you sometimes feel you want to let everyone know what you've achieved, and are looking for a more subtle way then shouting it from the rooftops?
Did you know that there are points achievement badges available for purchase from WARA?

They are available for those Rogainers that achieve the points milestones in bush rogaines of 3000, 2500, 2000, 1500, 1000, or 500 points:
