The course is a mixture of fairly open woodland with small pockets of undergrowth, some quite prickly so wear your protective gear. With an added bonus of riverside trails, picnic spots and of course... Rapids, this Rogaine will not disappoint.
Great for families, wanderers and those who are hardcore and need a challenge.
Whilst setting this event we had many encounters with the Darling Escarp wild life including mountain goats and the Chelodinia Oblonga, the snake necked turtle. You might be lucky to see one too.
There is no camping allowed at this event as its set in a National Park but there is a camp ground on the edge of the map that you can book yourself if you wish to stay the night. https://exploreparks.dbca.wa.gov.au/site/walyunga-campground
If you think you will be hungry for more than 8hours and heading back out on the Sunday 7th May excites you, the Setting team will be there at 8am when the ranger opens the gates to collect any remaining controls and welcome anyone lending a hand.
Our thanks to Wendy and Serena for putting their hand up to Vet the event. There are many more volunteers still needed, so get in touch with Janice the volunteer co-ordinator if you can help out.
So if you feel like you need to connect to country again.
Don’t delay, get your entry in to enjoy a day in the bush and maybe soak your toes in some river rapids and pools.
