The Winter 24 hour State Championship rogaine will be somewhat different to previous events. We will not need to erect our usual Hash House and Admin tents as we will be using the onsite facilities. The rogaine site is about two hours driving south east of the eastern suburbs of Perth. A few kilometers of gravel leads to a reasonably flat area where camping will be available for tents and caravans on Friday and Saturday nights with a slightly more restricted camping area than the usual. The rogaine country will be mainly forest and some farm areas. You will not need to cross many fences. The forest is mostly open with little scrub. The area contains a large number of tracks varying from good to impassable by vehicle. Hence the name of the event. The map will be of A3 size and the scale will be 1:50,000. Expect to see and hear lots of native animals. Hurdles of fallen trees are skillfully placed to catch tired legs and to provide a habitat for some of the animals.

Adult $60, Junior (10 - 18) $30, Child (under 10) Free

Volunteering is part and parcel of the culture of rogaining in WA. Unlike many other states, the WA rogaining association has been able to keep prices low and event quality high by the many members who every so often kindly forego an event to help out with administration, hash house, setting, vetting, first aid, or truck driving duties.

People step forward for the event roles usually in the last few weeks leading up to the event which is alway very much appreciated.
