Bush orienteering is predominantly held in Autumn through to Spring. Weekend events are held throughout the region, with the main series being: MelBushO – an introductory series of events close to Melbourne. Bendigo regional series – an accessible series catering for both new and experienced participants. Autumn and Spring series – these events, at locations across the state, have courses for all. Experience the excitement of navigating some of Victoria’s best forests. Two Victorian Championship events are held each year, currently with one after the autumn series and one during spring. These are open to all, providing the opportunity either test yourself against your peers or to simply provide another excuse to get out into the bush. There are also standalone events held at various times during the year, each with a unique format, such as the Maxi 3 hour, the Bush Night Champs and Bendigo ToDay.
