The Australian Schools Championships was held over three days from Oct 2nd to Oct 4th. The three events
- Sprint Championships on a warm day at Keithcot Farm - complex school buildings with many stairs and different levels, courses by David George
- Long Championships at Wirra Wirra - the day was much cooler for the competitors to navigate the at times low visibility pines, areas of complex rocks and a steeper section for the longer courses. Courses by Andrew Kennedy
- Relay Championships at Mount Crawford, a mix of lower and more open pines and some eucalypt forest. Fantastic effort by the teams to avoid any mispunches. Courses by John Nieuwenhoven
The ACT won the interstate competition for the 3rd year in a row, with South Australia second, and New Zealand again won the Southern Cross Challenge
