The Autumn Rogaine planning is well advanced and should be a great traditional bush Rogaine.

We have got a very pleasant hash house site - located in the Joadja Ghost Town on grass flats adjacent to a spring fed creek that never dries up. Lots of cover including a commercial kitchen and a big shed. The hash house is just 20 minutes from Mittagong on a good quality road, and less than 2 hours drive from most of Sydney.

The course contains lots of great bush. Stunning lookouts with vistas to the West across the Wingecarribee valley. Checkpoints will be placed near hidden water falls, great lookouts, amongst the Joadja ruins, and of course, in picturesque Australian bush. The course includes grazing farm land, open forest, a Ghost town, a scenic gorge and lots of surprises.

The Rogaine will be on the Saturday of the Anzac long weekend, with 6 and 12 hour events both starting at 11:00 am.

Chances are we will have a café on the course to allow for some chitchat and gossiping.

There will be an informative tour of the Joadja village and ruins on Sunday morning for those interested.
