Closing date for posting of normal entries for the Australian Championships carnival in Tasmania is 12 August 2005.

Preparations are continuing well for the carnival which commences on Saturday 24 September with a warm-up event at The Lea, just out of Hobart – the site of Tasmania’s first ever orienteering event in 1972.  The carnival finishes on Sunday 2 October with the Australian Relay Championships at Littlechild Creek just north of St Helens on Tasmania’s East Coast.

In between is a full program of events including the Tasmanian Long Distance Championships at Pittwater Dunes, The Australian Schools Orienteering Championships at Sandstone Valleys in Tasmania’s midlands and the Australian Sprint and Long Distance Championships at St Helens.

Tasmanian orienteers are looking forward to welcoming our interstate and overseas colleagues.  Combine a Tasmanian holiday with some great orienteering.  See you in Tassie in September!
