A nice sunny day greeted us in the north end of the Kooyoora forest on 7th September.
The courses were set by Daryl Fleay who used a variety of granite and bush features in his zigzag courses. A feature was the bright yellow wattle that was prominent in all areas used.
Around 50 competitors took part. Granite areas such as this are one of the hardest areas in which to navigate partly because there are so many boulders, fallen trees and thick bushes that make visibility ahead limited.
Course 1 was won by Ben Goonan with Richard Goonan second. Bruce Arthur won course 2 and Alex Tarr course 3. Course 4 was won by Susan Water with Jenny Ball second. John Wilkinson was first in course 5 followed by Fiona Connor second. Well done to everyone, and a big thank you to Neil Barr and Julie Flynn who manned the assembly area on the day and to those who helped pack up.
