If you enjoy the peace and beauty of Australia's arid regions, or are just dreaming of a life-changing, red sand adventure, then the latest edition of the Great Desert Tracks Atlas & Guide should be on your reading list.
Updated and revised for 2015, the fourth edition of this comprehensive guide to Australia’s best desert drives features all the latest Great Desert Tracks maps from Hema Maps, in the one book.
The guide also features 25 of Australia’s most popular 4WD tracks, each with its own detailed inset map showing the route taken, GPS locations and points of interest.
Track descriptions include detailed drive and facility information, contact details, permit information and fuel and provision availability. There’s also specific information for owners of camper trailers including vehicle access and campground information.
Written by some of Australia’s leading 4WD experts, including Ian Glover, Frank Stoffels, Allan Whiting and Vic Widman, the guidebook also includes useful information about vehicle and trip preparation, desert ecology, and other travel advice like alcohol restrictions.
The 256 page, soft-cover book weighs 1.2kg and should fit in most 4WD gloveboxes.
