Specific contributions he has made to rogaining in Tasmania include:
- Making maps for most events over many years, steadily improving the map quality and detail for both bush and metro style events
- Multiple software-related tasks for rogaine administration
- Liaised with commercial catering firms over the last decade
- Arranged online publication of event results and photos for many years
- Major contributions to development of documentation to inform competitors
- Generated comprehensive task lists for any rogaine, from local metro events to Australian Championships

Gary has participated in a total of 22 Tasmanian events as a competitor plus numerous others in which he has had a key role as a setter or organiser. He has also participated in 20 Australian or World Championship events, often with results at or near the top of his category.
Rogaining Tasmania proudly confers Life Membership upon Gary Carroll in recognition of his outstanding and enduring service to this organization and as an expression of the gratitude and admiration of all members.
