Inward Bound is the flagship-sporting event for the 8 colleges at ANU. ‘Kindervale’ Braidwood Cattle Company’s ‘Top of the World’ panoramic position was chosen for the finishing point for this year’s 53rd event.
Braidwood turned on exceptional weather for the 2 days, which involved 220 competitors and over 1200 spectators and organizers.
Inward Bound is a team building adventure race in which divisions of four students are blindfolded and driven around Canberra and surrounds for several hours before being dropped at an unknown point in the bush in the middle of the night. Using maps, a compass and whatever clues they could find a route is plotted to the finishing co ordinates.
Division 7 traveled 30kms whilst this year Division 1 from Burton and Garran College started at 96m elevation and after 95kms reached the cheering spectators and college marquees at the 960m finishing point. They definitely would have felt on ‘Top of the World!’
