About the Event
For the first time in many years, RT is holding a metrogaine in the beautiful metropolis of Launceston. Many are saying that this is going to be the premier event of the decade! Launceston is home to the Cataract Gorge, Trevallyn Reserve, the UTAS precinct, many, many parks, and of course…. the monkeys!
The course is varied. You can rough it in the gorge, take in incredible views of the city, visit art galleries, and chill out at one of the many fine cafes in the city. Wander along the nearly pristine waters of the Tamar, scramble up to an eagle’s eyrie (or at least a spot that would have been a good spot for one), and even have an icy swim at The Basin.

Entries
Normal entries close on Friday 26th April at midnight. However it will be possible to enter late up to Sunday midnight the 28th April for a substantial extra fee. For related information see - Refunds & Team Changes
Paypal
Payment for entry is taken using Paypal. Lately some people who do not have a PayPal account have had issues when they tried to finalise their credit card payment using a "guest" PayPal account. If you strike this problem, you have a couple of options. First, ask your team members and if one of them has an account, use that account to make the team payment. Alternatively go to the official PayPal site and create your own account.

Arthurs Lake Aquagaine Setters' Report
- Information
- 08 March 2024
I have no idea when the idea of an Arthurs Lake Aquagaine took hold. One evening Karen and I drove past Arthurs Lake and camped for the night to avoid hitting wildlife, next I am looking at the Lake on Google Earth, then a paddling visit just to see if, maybe,….. Then, well most of you reading this know what happened next. We had the first Tasmanian Aquagaine in fifteen years. Setting an event... -

Arthurs Lake Winners' Report
- Information
- 03 March 2024
If you’d prefer not to read about how a ‘social event with an emphasis on fun’ was treated by Ryder Jamson and I as though winning was a matter of life and death - then I’d suggest you skip reading this report! The event provided a great strategic challenge, perhaps more so than an ordinary foot-only rogaine, with many added variables and tactical possibilities. We both had some kayaking... -

- 01 January 2024
By Liz Canning and Hugh Fitzgerald As the sole Tasmanian team competing in this year’s Australasian rogaining champs, it was up to us to let the state down! But I jump ahead, first the backstory. Hugh had asked his New Zealand-based elder sister if she and her husband wanted to come on their first rogaine (as a separate Super Vet team) and was met with a most enthusiastic response. Should they do...
