160 pages, 121 colour photographs, 20 topographic
maps (one for each days walk), ISBN 1 920995 01 3, Recommended Price
A$29.95 (including
GST), published June 2008. Here is the Contents
Page in PDF
format. An detailed on-line review of the book is available at the aushiker
website. This is an all colour production with full track notes for
both directions along the trail. The colour
topographic maps and notes have been colour coded for each
direction to reduce confusion about which notes are currently being
followed. Gradient profiles are provided at the same scale as those
used in all our books. Each chapter describes one of the 20 sections of
the trail plus the side trip to Glen Helen is included. A large
background section includes the history of the area and notes on
geology, climate, vegetation and wildlife are included. A comprehensive
section on Safety and Trip Planning are provided.
I expect this walk will become a classic
well-known walk as it traverses some excellent desert scenery. Water
has
been provided by park management at most of the regular campsites along
the trail. For more details about the trail refer to my Larapinta Trail webpage for general
information.
