At Mundoolun. Ran second leg after MarkG who put me out a few minutes behind. I started out pretty solid and got the first 4 OK. Caught andyhill on the way to 5 but made 2 mistakes on that leg, one half way there and again in the circle. Missed again on 10 (74) trying to go between the big dark green blobs (lantana) but I came out to the west of the control having apparently gone right around both blobs. Annoying. Tried to steady the ship and held it together until the 3rd last (16) where I must have pick the wrong gap in the lantana - I looked down and saw a termite mount, there didn't appear to be one in the first gap so figured it was the gap I wanted. Turns out the course planner decided that termite mounds wasn't important so covered or with the red line. How hard is it to break the lines?? otherwise a good course i thought. not being a sprint gave it a good start.

Anyway, pulled in 3 mins or so on NSW and put Eon out with a ~2min gap - which he was able to (just) reel in on a flying bertbennett to give us the win!
