Camps 6 Book Australia wide due out in Feb 2011

Shaun,

If you have a caravan or motor home, or something you can just pull over and stay overnight, Camps book is good but if you have a tent, soft or hard floor camper or wind up type Jayco style camper, I reckon the "Camping Around Australia" book is better. It provides proper camp areas like National Parks and Forestry type camp areas also town common type free camps. Also included is short note about the camp ground, both free and paid type camps are in the book. Roadside areas are not listed. One thing that is a bit disappointing about "Camping Around Australia" book is that there are no GPS points for camp grounds although there are good written directions and I find the map scale is a little small for my aging eyes.. Hope this helps, Michael

Land Rover Club of ACT developed an application called Camp Ground Corner and although not as comprehensive as the two mentioned is quite useful. It covers all of Australia.

It may have an issue in the that the map display driver it uses does not seem to be supported by Adobe any more.

Yes, new editions of Camps Australia Wide come out annually in the Feb-March timeframe. We always carry stock of this, along with all the other good titles. We are kept informed by the publishers and always carry the latest editions/products so keep an eye on the newsletters we send every 2nd Thursday as we will always include mention of new editons/releases through that mechanism, or check your Members Home Page for latest Shop products, or check the Shop Blog page. This week's newsletter will actually be featuring loads of new products that have just come in.

Thanks, Michelle

We bought the spiral-bound combined photo book earlier this year and found the pages particularly frail compared with our Camps 3 edition. The old book was still intact after four years whereas the new one is falling apart after very little use.

I hope the publishers print it on a more durable grade of paper to justify the high price.
