Tassie trip Easter day 3 Curryjong Rivulet

The last day of the Easter carnival was shorter for us both, and very different terrain.
Much of the ground underfoot was bracken-like, hiding holes and rocks which were trip hazards to the extreme. 

There were  not the rock features to navigate and really it was spur gully country, although very different looking from the SA spur gully in the Flinders and around Burra.

We had another 20 minute walk to the start from the assembly area, which was at an adventure park.  Today we got the uphill finish chute. The sledge (M21AS) course used one of the climbing obstacles for their second to last control just to add to the fun. Ex SA runner Andrew Slattery came third in this course.





It was probably my best day of orienteering and Trev's worst.
We ended up 16th and 20th respectively overall (no bragging rights for either of us) with cumulative scores over the last 3 days.

Today (Tuesday) we move on and will camp somewhere tonight as we make our way up towards St Helens on the North East of Tassie to start the Orienteering again on Thursday.
