Map status: Version 1- Fortuna Seekers Orienteering Club. Yes there once were two orienteering clubs in Bendigo. Remapped in 1999 by Rob Plowright. Based on Pat Thwaites photogrammetry via previous map by Fortuna Seekers. No updates of significance since then. The symbology is somewhat unique as is the vegetation mapping. Despite the maps age, still reasonably accurate.
