Event information: Rock Oyster South Day 1 Long Distance Event + Free Night Event
Tintookies Orienteers invite you to a weekend of orienteering on this unique landscape. In the north east is the Ridley Conservation Park which contains remnant stands of woodland and grassland vegetation. An old stock route used to pass through this area. It is home for the hairy nosed wombat. Much of the map area was originally part of an ancient sea bed hence you will see lots of fossilised oyster shells. Some of the private land has been cleared for occasional cropping. Complex but very clearly defined spur gully terrain dominates the balance of the map. Careful route choice will help to greatly reduce potentially high climb rates.
Directions: To NE of Mt Pleasant follow the Angas Valley Rd towards Walkers Flat. Turn left on Murraylands road and follow signs. After crossing the Marne River the turn to the arena is about 500 metres on the left
