The 4th edition is now available. It contains 240
pages, 175 colour photos, 51 - 1:50,000 topographic maps, ISBN 978 1
920995 06 5, 4th edition recommended retail is $37.50 Copies can
be purchased directly from me in Australia
by sending
A$34.00 (which includes GST & postage) or for Overseas orders
A$45 (including postage by airmail), to the snail mail address
below. We can also provide clear
plastic protective covers for $3 each (postage included), which is
a total of $37 for book with cover. Only
cheques on Australian
banks or money orders can
be
accepted as I do not have credit card facilities - I am primarily
a writer and self publisher - not a book seller. Alternatively
to order on-line by credit card contact Open
Spaces Publishing. At present I have seven 'seconds' (books with a
small crease or marks on the corner)
that are available for $27 including
postage
within Australia. If you want one then email first and I will
hold the book for two weeks pending delivery of payment.
The new edition is a major rewrite and major redesign - it
is printed in colour throughout and has 51 colour topographic maps for
the
entire track which will reduce the need for some of the maps where the
track crosses map corners. We suggest still taking the major maps as
they are more useful in emergencies when you have to leave the track to
exit from the area. Gradient profiles are improved with more detail and
the 175 colour photographs are placed with the text they illustrate.
Where needed, notes are provided for the reverse direction from
Canberra to Walhalla and there are 46 specific notes for Southbound
walkers - as we walked the reverse direction in 2006 we
were able to assess where extra information was needed. We considered
providing full reverse notes such as done in our Larapinta Trail book - after working out
the book would be close to 400 pages and weigh nearly twice as much, we
realised it was not practical, most would not want to carry a heavy
book.
