My first rogaine was the 1994 Australian Rogaining Championships held at Bethungra NSW. My team and I got totally lost at night and slept on the ground until morning, at which point we could work out our location and keep going. From that time on I was hooked on rogaining. Since that time I have competed in over 100 rogaines. Aside from being on the organising committee, I am the webmaster for NSW Rogaining. What I love about rogaining, aside from the competition and comradeship, is that it gets you into parts of the Australian bush that are very rarely experienced.

Welcome to the Blog

The name Paddy Pallin certainly means many things to many people. For some it brings to mind the genial personality of one of Australia’s pioneer bushwalkers. Others will recognise the name from the label of a sleeping bag or rucksack that has given a generation of faithful service in the great outdoors. Or perhaps it brings to mind the colourful history of Australia’s greatest cross-country ski race. For most people however, the name is associated with a group of specialist retail stores catering for travellers and outdoor enthusiasts.

The Experience Blog is a place to collaboratively share knowledge, adventures and inspire each other to enjoy the outdoors. We stand firmly by the motto that 'Experience is Everything' & strive to embody that philosophy within our community whenever possible.

Thanks for stopping by!
