Bush Orienteering

Bush orienteering is generally held in Autumn through to Spring. Weekend events are held throughout Victoria,  with the main events 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. These are open to all, providing the opportunity to test yourself against your peers or to simply provide another excuse to get out into the bush.
• The Victorian Relays are a chance for club based teams to compete head to head in an exciting annual contest
• Standalone events, each with a unique format, eg Maxi 3 Hour, Bendigo ToDay
