Larapinta Maps???

[Nic]

What has everyone used in the past? I have the Chapman book and the the maps form the trail package but I much prefer topos. Is there a need for more detail that what I have already?
Cheers,

The pdfs of the Larapinta sections have basic topo maps in them.
See links to each section at the bottom of this page:

The Chapman book has topo's in it. I've just photocopied them all out. I'm pretty sure the features are well defined out there.
I recall reading somewhere that the actual topo maps for the area don't have the Larapinta trail on it anyway.

I was going to print the topo's from the website today to see how they turn out.
Thanks guys,
Nick

When we walked the Larapinta Trail in 2003 we took with us:

1. What where at the time the draft 1:50 000 coloured maps from John Chapman. These maps have since been published in John's book;
2. NATMAP 1:250 000 topographical maps, Hermannsburg and Alice Springs which also show the Trail.

I've done this walk a few times and have found the stage maps you download from the parks website perfectly adequate. On two walks these are all I used. The trail is well marked. Of course if you've got Chapman's book take it.

Thanks for the feedback

I bought the maps - they were a great source of info and I was able to organise the walk with just the maps as a guide. Not only does it show distance between camps and sections, it offered info on what you would see on each section. I was able to organise all my food for the 19 days from this info, able to find the company to pick up at the other end etc etc... I would highly recommend getting the maps
