2010 Australian Rogaine Championships

I went up to the 2010 Australian Rogaine Championships to compete with Gary Rolfe and Chris Helliwell. Dave and Julie had beenn organisers/course setters so it promised to be an excellent event.

Some other photos are up on the ACT RA site here and the event website has other information here.
