MelbushO at Bullengarook, Sunday 30 August

The next MelBushO event will be on Sunday 30 August 2026, near the village of Bullengarook, between Gisborne and Bacchus Marsh. Our regional friends Central Highlands Orienteers are again offering their city cousins a taste of “real” bush orienteering, in open forest and friendly terrain with lots of tracks to suit beginners.

Pre-entry via Eventor is preferred. This is to ensure we print enough maps for all participants. We have limited numbers of maps for those entering on the day, so if you do not pre-enter there is a possibility of not having a map.

Choose any of the five courses:
Course 1 (Long Hard) – approx 6 km
Course 2 (Medium Hard) – approx 4 km
Course 3 (Short Hard) – approx 3 km, physically easy
Course 4 (Moderate) – approx 4 km
Course 5 (Easy) – approx 2.5 km

Registration opens at 9.30am. Start times: 10.00am-11.30am.
Course closure – all courses close at 1.00pm. You must return to the Finish before then, even if you haven’t completed your course.

Pre-entry for this event is highly recommended. Pre-entry and pre-payment keeps queues to a minimum, and ensures you get a map on your preferred course.

Entry fees: Adults $12.00, Juniors (under 21) $8.00, Family maximum $32 (auto-applied when all members of a family enter together). Entry on the day incurs a $3 surcharge for adults, but not for juniors.
