Hi all,
I'll be in WA on October and I was looking for a book to help me get more out of my trip, and also give me some
camping tips and locations and more...
I was wondering if anyone seen any of these books or have any idea when they were published:
exploroz.com/Shop/Books/Priceless/Priceless_…
which looks like a 3rd edition (but i don't know when it's from)
exploroz.com/Shop/…
which looks like a 5rd edition (again, i don't know when it's from)
also, i'd be happy to hear if anyone got any good book to recommend for WA in addition to the above (I don't
mine buying 2 books) with some tips, maps and so... we're planning to do
Perth->
Kalbarri and than the South of WA.
Thanks.

Hi
I can throughly recommend from first hand experience the following two books
the guide to FREE-
CAMPING in the SOUTH of WA. S & S Collis (5th edition publisehd 2005)
A Guide to PRICELSS CAMPSITES & REST AREAS in the South of Western Australia............Jan Holland (not sure of current edition # but it wont really matter as the updates just add a few extra sites and latest info which is always subjuect to some change regardless of how "new" it all is)
I suggest that you purchase them both as they compliment each other...in other words whilst they do share some common site suggestions they have been written from a different perspective and are sufficiently varied from each other to justify the purchase of both
we have both the SW of WA and the NW of WA of each and have used them many times
any further info please ask (we live in the SW of WA) and would be happy to help
cheers

thanks a lot for the info...
actually i'm looking for the one that is not just
camping oriented, i mean, one that also has some other info about
places to see or hikes/things to do... and/or maybe info for a novice camper.
i'm not that of a camper really, i just really wanna try and
camp on this trip, so i was wondering which one of these two help will me in other aspect rather than
camping as
well and maybe fit more for a new-camper
since u mentioned u live in SW of WA, maybe you can tell me if there's a national
park in WA south or even north that i can
camp as a base to go to trips (and come back at night to my
camp)? something like wilsons promontory?
thanks again.

Hi Julianberg,
Along with the books that the others have suggested, I would suggest you also have a look at the '
Camping Guide to WA'.
Camping Guide to WA - CLICK HERE
It covers the regions that you are travelling to, and contains a lot more than simple
camp sites. Each page has colour images of the area,
camp site details, things to do in the area as
well as a map of the region.
Should you have any further questions, I am happy to help!
