Drove halfway across Queensland for an OY event on a "fantastic new area". The area was interesting, and the southern section of the map was actually quite nice (the northern part had so much fallen timber you couldn't run for more than 3 steps at a time). It was dead flat, with flat plateaus, with very steep rocky slopes in between. Unfortunately the map was a fairly abstract representation of the terrain (I guess that's what you get with no base map and no field checking), so finding the controls involved getting to the circle and searching around every rock and cliff - all made harder by the fact that the flags were hidden as far under the rocks as possible, and some were in competely the wrong place.
At least now I've seen the whole of Braemar forest and have no reason to ever return. (although with a good fire and some field checking it might actually be a fun place to orienteer).

just an easy ride. was planning to do more but felt like shit (jet lag really sucks)
