Broulee Dunes Map
Events: The Broulee Dunes map will be used for both the Wildfire Sports Autumn Classics Day 1 and Wildfire Sports Autumn Classics Day 2.
Location: Sand dunes between Broulee and Moruya on the NSW south coast.
Map/Terrain: Broulee Dunes 2020. Scale: 1:7500, 2.5m contours.
This is a new map of a venue never previously used for orienteering. The map is typical south coast sand dune terrain which hugs the beach between Broulee and the Moruya airport. The vegetation is relatively slow and thick in places, but fast and open in others. The dunes get smaller and less distinct the further you are from the beach. There are a few tracks and a large creek running through the map. A recent bushfire has burnt through a section of the map, resulting in better visibility and faster running.
