From WA and intend travelling the inland towns of, NT, Queensland and NSW in April, I have a GPS, but the Ball and Chain want's a hard copy map to study, looking for a sprial bound one, saw one from Hema called "The Truckeys Map", it look ok, wondering if there is a better one that you have had experience with!

Hi Cobber.
I find "The Australian Road Atlas" invaluable. It is also available here in the
Shop.

The Australian Road Atlas also has a version "The Australian Touring Atlas" that only has maps and not the dozens of pages of information about various towns.
Wherever we travel we use the atlas but also buy local maps from RACV/NRMA etc with more detailed maps when we get to a location.

Hi Cobber
Three choices both available in the
shop on site
Australia Handy ATLAS - Spiral Bound $16.95 Good clear maps and accurate. My SWMBO loves it, could even navigate from it for the three months we were away. Distances on the maps were accurate
Around Australia - Soft Cover $39.95
Gives her the same maps but also information on the areas you are travelling through and info on the towns etc.
Camps Australia Wide 3 - Spiral Bound Newsletter Discount valid for 7 days $44.96
Gives SWMBO the power to navigate with the Hema maps in the book and also find free or cheap
camp sites for the night ahead.
Just remember too much power in her hands may lead you astray
