Map Details and Vegetation
There will be one A3
map, 1:25,000 with 10 m contour interval, printed on waterproof teslin pap
er. The area is mostly urban, utilising pathways, parks and reserves.
Given the generally urban environment, there is limited need for gaiters. T
he map shows urban areas in yellow, roads in red, larger building in g
rey, vegetated land in green and clear land in white. Walking paths and tra
cks are mostly black dashed lines, with fire trails brown. It is aligned to
magnetic north and the north lines are red. The out-of-bounds areas are br
own, and include a number of high speed arterial roads. The course has 58 c
ontrols, and 3200 points total. The checkpoint descriptions follow th
e rules:
- If the feature is shown on the map, then it is described as “The … (
knoll, saddle ..)”;

map, but is obvious on the ground, then it is described as “A … (knol
