Whilst in the new books area at Myers (Liverpool) today they were selling the latest edition of the "Explore Australia" Handbook for $30 instead of $59. I have a previous edition and it sometimes gives more information than Camps and Wiki Maps.

for thos unfamiliar with it see http://www.bookdepository.com/Explore-Australia-/9781741175103?redirected=true&utm_medium=Google&utm_campaign=Base4&utm_source=AU&utm_content=Explore-Australia&selectCurrency=AUD&w=AF45AU96JKX25BA8ZTPV&pdg=kwd-1100610164070:kwd-1100610164070:cmp-81753449:adg-5314408170:crv-{creative}:pos-{adposition}:pid-9781741175103&bclid=315f41fa86e34a1e9c7358b1e367a3ae&utm_term=1100610164070

A very handy book, have used it for years. Introduced to us by our parents, who had been using it for years.

We bought Camps 8 in a discount bookshop a few days ago for $19.95.

We've also had Camping Around Australia (Explore Oz), Camping In Australia - Cathy Savage & Craig Lewis & Budget Camps & Stops Australia - Paul Smedley for 3 or 4 years.

Some of the info contained in the current editions of two of those books is way out of date. At least Camps 8 is fairly up to date.

Sounds like both of those books are due for a new addition. (CAW 9 is due 15 February, 2017.)

We use Camps 6, Wikicamps, Boiling Billy & the Truckies Atlas. Oh, and the Free Range camping website (www.freerangecamping.com.au/directory/), and the wealth of knowledge here when we are plotting at home before setting off.
