2019 NSW Orienteering Championships 

The Championship events were held in two locations in Central West NSW between Bathurst and Cowra.  Middle Distance Championships at Wyangala Dam and the  Long Distance Championships at Roseberg State Forest. This unmissable Championship weekend included a WOC selection trial and an NOL Ultra-Long. 

Saturday 18th May 2019 – Middle Distance at Wyangala

Granite boulders dominate the Western slopes of Wyangala Dam. Once farmed, now a State Park, the terrain is extremely open and perfect for orienteering. It was previously used for QBIII in 1991 and remapped in 2018.
