Why Rogaine?

What's in it for me?

Rogaining is an endurance sport, so you whether you compete hard or treat it as an opportunity to go for a wander some where new, you will get a lot of exercise.
Exercise
You will learn new skills. Not only will you become proficient with a map and compass but you will learn route planning, time manageemnt and how to move through the bush with confidence.
New Skills
Meet new and interesting people. Rogainers don't care what car you drive or what sort of work you do. Meet people who share a love of the outdoors and have a spirit of adventure.
Friendship
In modern life we rarely, if ever, have to challenge ourselves. Rogainers challenge themselves and have a strength of will that they can translate to anything they do.
Challenge
Rogainers work in a teams, often under difficult circumstances. Want to learn how to be part of a team, where you need to learn trust and depend on your team mates.
Come Rogaining!
Team Work
Rogainers are confident people. Rogainers have an inner strength that comes from pushing your self to the limit over many hours in both daylight and darkness. The confidence learned rogaining translates to everything you do.
Confidence
Most people live in big cities and never venture far from their cars. Rogainers get to experience the Australian bush in all its beauty; pristine creeks, varied native landscapes, beautiful valleys, magnificent views and the occasional patch of fight scrub.

MEET THE volunteers

volunteers

Our sport relies on people who volunteer. If we have no volunteers, we will have no events. Most people enjoy volunteering because they get to experience new places, new people and new activites without the pressure of competition.
