Does anybody know where I can purchase the bushmap (Stuart Brookes) for The King, Hoqua and Jamieson rivers watershed?
I had a copy, but seem to have lost it since my last hike in the Upper Howqua area.
The author has passed on, and it seems to be out of stock at ABC maps and other places, so maybe discontinued?
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Request a copy from the NLA!
About 50$ but has worked for me in the past with these kind of things!

Men wanted for hazardous journey. Low wages, bitter cold, long hours of complete darkness. Safe return doubtful.

I might have a spare. Will take me a wee while to check.

Genius! I've ordered it, $19 for map, no mention of shipping, hopefully not a huge amount, but price is comparable to ABCMaps.
I'm hoping 'Original Size, Standard Paper' is the same as the one I got from ABCMaps.
Of course, I'll now find the lost map behind the couch, or under the dog, or something.
Thanks!

Tell me how the map quality is, I've used it for PDFs of books!

So, just got notified, no paper copies available, and need to select TIFF or JPEG.
I ordered the TIFF (hoping it's GeoTIFF so I can import into QGIS, but fine if not).
$52, bit more than paper... I can print it out and lose it multiple times now.

Inaccuracies and oddities in various Bushmaps were quickly picked up by walkers, cyclists and 4WDs over the years, chiefly because there was no continuum of updates. I just home-in on specific sections of VicMap, and have many of these in various measures that have proved their worth either on a tablet for viewing or printed ex-pdf to A3 (around $2.00 to $5.00 each on purchase download). You probably already know this. Melbourne Maps Central might have legacy copies of Bushmaps.

Good
I know that I have at least one extra - somewhere 
Digging through close to 60 years worth of accumulated paper maps is just too hard.- stry
