 The Hash House is located at a clearing between the pine forest and native 
 forest on Barnetts Road in the Bondo State Forest. Direction signs will be

 There are many animals on the road so please just take it easy and allow yo
 urself that extra bit of time to drive a bit slower. \n

 ne Road or any of the other roads that Google might suggest as an alternati
 ve route. Come into the Hash House off Brindabella Road via Barnetts Road o
 nly.\n

From Sydney - via Tumut,

The most straightforward route with the greatest a
 mount of sealed road (all except about the last 5 km) is to drive to Tumut.
  Allow approximately 40-45 mins from Tumut.\n

\n
Registration
 , Map Availability, Start Times
The Bondo to the Rescue Rogaine will commen
 ce by way of a mass start at 11 am on Saturday 15 November 2025 for both th
 e 6 and 12 hr events. Final briefing will be at 10:50 am. Registration will
  open at 8:30 am.\n
To register, one person only per team to register and c
 ollect maps. That person will need to:\n

Bring first aid kit, so that it c
 an be checked; see below for what it must contain
Bring one completed indem
 nity form per team member. 

If you don’t have all your team-mates, you can
  still register and get a map to start planning. We will issue your navligh
 t scoring tags once all your team is present and we have all your indemnity
  forms. \n
Electronic scoring: As this event is using the Navlight system o
 f scoring, each team member will be issued with a wristband and tag upon re
 gistration. Please be careful not to lose the tags as they are an expensive
 , custom-made item.\n
You will also be given pre-marked maps, control descr
 iptions, course setter's notes and a small copy of the map to be used as a 
 flight plan. We recommend that you arrive at least an hour prior to the sta
 rt of the event to allow enough time for final preparations and route plann
 ing. Each team must mark their intended route on the flight plan and hand i
 t in before starting. You do not have to stick to the intended route but th
 e flight plan helps us decide where to start a search if you fail to return
 .\n
Map and Course Details
There will be one A3 map (320 x 450 mm), 1:25,00
 0 with 10 m contour interval. Magnetic north lines are marked on the map. T
 he course setters notes and control descriptions have been printed on the b
 ack. The altitude ranges from approximately 1000 to 1200 m. \n
The map is p
 rinted on Teslin paper which is very tough and generally does not need to b
 e covered in contact. \n
The area contains a mix of pine forest and native 
 bush with lots of forestry tracks. We strongly recommend long trousers and 
 gaiters. We have seen quite a few snakes while setting. There are lots of b
 lackberries in the pine forest, although we have done our best to make that
  part of the course rogaine friendly. In the native bush, the travel is qui
 te variable with patches of fallen trees and tea tree in the creeklines. Ho
 wever, in general it is quite nice.\n
Water
Please bring enough water for H
 ash House use and for at least 4 hours on course. Remember to bring a bit m
 ore if you are camping.\n
There are 2 water drops on course. At each water 
 drop there is a pump that screws into the top of the water container to use
 . \n
There is water in the larger creeks and some of the smaller ones. You 
 may find the creeks more convenient than the water drops to refill your sup
 ply. However, we strongly recommend sterilisation before you drink because 
 of the large number of animals in the area. Please bring your own tablets o
 r other sterilisation device. We have some Micropur we can sell you if you 
 bring $2 cash for 5 litres (and the right amount please!).\n
Camping
Basic 
 camping is available at the Hash House site. It is a cleared area between t
 he pines and the native bush. There is lots of space for everyone but you w
 ill have to choose your spot to avoid lumps and logs (see photo). You are w
 elcome to camp Friday night and Saturday night. We will be there from mid t
 o late afternoon on Friday.\n
\n
Catering
ACTRA volunteers will provide a m
 eal for each event, starting about 30 mins before the finish time. This wil
 l be a green thai chickpea curry (vegan) or pumpkin and lentil soup as a ma
 in dish, sausages in bread, vege patties, cheese toasties. Fruit, cake, bis
 cuits and hot and cold drinks.  \n
Please bring your own plate, bowl, cup a
 nd cutlery.\n

 amping).

The Hash House number will be +8816 324
 1 4111 and is printed on the map. This is a satellite phone and requires an
  international phone call. However, there is no mobile coverage on the cour
 se so you will need to blow your whistle and get other teams if you need he
 lp. The safety patrol and HH will have a satellite phone so send a team to 
 get help. \n

  and control descriptions have been printed on the back. The altitude range
 s from approximately 1000 to 1200 m.&nbsp;</p><p>The map is printed on Tesl
 in paper which is very tough and generally does not need to be covered in c
 ontact.&nbsp;</p><p>The area contains a mix of pine forest and native bush 
 with lots of forestry tracks. We strongly recommend long trousers and gaite
 rs. We have seen quite a few snakes while setting. There are lots of blackb
 erries in the pine forest, although we have done our best to make that part
  of the course rogaine friendly. In the native bush, the travel is quite va
 riable with patches of fallen trees and tea tree in the creeklines. However
 , in general it is quite nice.</p><h3>Water</h3><p>Please bring enough wate
 r for Hash House use and for at least&nbsp;4 hours&nbsp;on course. Remember
  to bring a bit more if you are camping.</p><p>There are 2 water drops on c
 ourse. At each water drop there is a pump that screws into the top of the w
 ater container to use.&nbsp;</p><p>There is water in the larger creeks and 
 some of the smaller ones. You may find the creeks more convenient than the 
 water drops to refill your supply. However, we strongly recommend sterilisa
 tion before you drink because of the large number of animals in the area. P
 lease bring your own tablets or other sterilisation device. We have some Mi
 cropur we can sell you if you bring <strong>$2 cash for 5 litres </strong>(
 and the right amount please!).</p><h3>Camping</h3><p>Basic camping is avail
 able at the Hash House site. It is a cleared area between the pines and the
  native bush. There is lots of space for everyone but you will have to choo
 se your spot to avoid lumps and logs (see photo). You are welcome to camp F
 riday night and Saturday night. We will be there from mid to late afternoon
  on Friday.</p><p><img src="https://mail.act.rogaine.asn.au/images/25Spring

 ge</h3><p>There is NO mobile phone coverage on the course.&nbsp;</p><p>The 
 Hash House number will be <strong>+8816 3241 4111</strong> and is printed o
 n the map. This is a satellite phone and requires an international phone ca
 ll. However, there is no mobile coverage on the course so you will need to 
 blow your whistle and get other teams if you need help. The safety patrol a
 nd HH will have a satellite phone so send a team to get help.&nbsp;</p><h3>
