Someone sent me a flyer for Derrick Stone's new Walks,Tracks and Trails of Victoria. It's $45 but I got the State Library to get it in. It's comprehensive enough warrant the cost and at last includes/begins with quite a bit of walking out in the Mallee Wimmera. Not heaps but anything is an advance on what used to be the case. I guess Parks Vic is hoping to spread the load and the desert is excellent at "other" times of the year.
Has anyone seen it and what opinions have you heard of it? It's not just for walkers, but for cyclists and car touring too but there's plenty of overlap in those areas and uptodate information can only be helpful.
It's interesting to see how much cheaper it is to buy overseas if you look on http://www.abebooks.com, where an initial entry claims it is US published. CSIRO may indeed have overseas arrangements. 14 entries all US and UK, except for Aussiebooks offering it in Australia, for $58 smackers, though of course it's available at $45 from CSIRO.
Everybody, must get Stone's ...
