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.

Some have asked for an online version - see my online policy page about why we are not yet doing this for our books.
