Wallaringa Orienteers

Welcome to Wallaringa Orienteers, a sports club based in Adelaide, South Australia. Since its establishment in 1978, Wallaringa Orienteers has been actively involved in orienteering at the local, national, and international levels. Led by Peter Kreminski, the club has a rich history that has been meticulously documented and shaped over the years.

In collaboration with four other clubs in South Australia, Wallaringa Orienteers organises orienteering events on many weekends throughout the year. The club has consistently achieved success in competitions, with numerous elite senior and junior orienteers proudly representing Wallaringa Orienteers. As a club, we value inclusivity and encourage individuals of all skill levels and experience to join us and be part of our vibrant community.

At Wallaringa Orienteers, we not only focus on the physical aspect of the sport but also prioritise building a strong social network. Throughout the season, we host various social gatherings and our restaurant nights have always been a hit among our members. These events provide opportunities for club members to connect, share experiences, and forge lasting friendships.

Our members hail from Adelaide and its surrounding areas, contributing to the diverse and dynamic nature of our club. Whether you are a seasoned orienteer or a complete novice, we assure you a warm and welcoming environment where you can develop your skills and explore the thrilling sport of orienteering.
