Oceania Champs Entries Now Open

This September, experience the thrill of navigating Canberra’s bushlands like never before! Competitors will trace ancient paths shaped by migration, landscape, and time.

The journey begins in the rugged bushland of Namadgi National Park,then moves to Orana School, a fun, compact campus, perfect for the ASOC competitors to demonstrate their speedy sprint techniques. From there, competitors climb to the panoramic heights of Mount Ainslie, before navigating along the banks of the Murrumbidgee River at Pine Island and then tackle the technical slopes of Stromlo Forest Park. The carnival finishes at the Australian National University, where open lawns, gardened courtyards, and complex buildings provide fast decision-making and technical route choices.

Each day brings new terrain, fresh challenges, and multiple route choices, rewarding those who read the map, trust their compass, and move confidently.

Join us for a week of navigation, endurance, and connection to country — and follow the flight paths that have shaped this extraordinary landscape.
