Girraween National Park MAP required

[Adventure Calls]

Hi everyone, I am planning a multi day hike around Girraween National Park but am having trouble getting my hands on a topographic map. Ideally I'd like the Hema Girraween, Bald Rock and Sundown map but it is no longer in print and I can't get my hands on a copy (paper or digital) If anyone knows where I can get one I'd really appreciate it.

Also to help my planning, does anyone have a list of the bush camps and there GPS locations to help me out.

Thanks in advance for anyone that can help

Thanks ofuros.. I have accessed the Qtopo website and downloaded. I've had to split the area over 3 maps to cover where I want to walk but its usable.

Thanks again!

PS: from your experience with this park, do you think its worthwhile going next week after all the rain or would it be a slush pit?

The park drains well so you should be fine...granite rocks can be slippery on damp days though.

When booking a camp/remote camp location, there will be Gps co-ords on the info/reserve page.

It may be worth checking the information centre in Stanthorpe (the one on the left just as you pass south over the creek in town) for a Hema map. That's where we got ours. They might still have some in stock depending on how long ago they went out of print. This is a disappointment.

I've recently asked at the Stanthorpe information centre for a map - they have none.

The HEMA map has useful bw information not in the topo.
Although I have not used this service, the map is apparently available from the copies direct service at the National Library

Yeh I tried the Stanthorpe Info centre, they had none left. I did manage to get my hands on one privately from asking around. So glad I did.

By the way, I did the 2 night 3 day hike and it was great. Definitely recommend it. The ranger said I was lucky as all the previous rain had scared everyone off and I was on my own out there (except for one Swedish guy) which I didn't come across. I am one to take my shoes off on water crossing to keep my feet dry.. I had to do this A LOT... but it was worth it, the creeks were runny clean and fresh.

The petrol stations and Information Centre in Tenterfield NSW still stocked the Hema maps last I checked (admittedly 2-3 months ago). Might be worth a shot

I checked at the Tenterfield info centre for you today and they have none, I drive between Warwick and T/field 3 times weekly so I will continue to look around. By the way if you were thinking of heading out this way to walk I can assure you there is water everywhere, also have seen 2 brown snakes,
P.S. I will check the Warwick servos this w/e

Here is my map http://www.organisedgrime.com.au/Girraween.pdf drawn for mountain bikers but probably all you need.
