Two Off Roading girls need help to buy the off road tasmania book

Welcome to the book world of Australia. Unfortunately all books in Australia are expensive compared to the US and UK. The publishing world was divided up and the UK got Australia and unfortunatley highly inflated prices are the result. The sooner it is broken down the better and we will then have a cheaper access to books. It's similar to the regions for DVDs.

We bought three novels before heading to the US last year. Had we waited and bought them in the US we would have paid one third the price. We'd bought them on special here. If we had paid full price the savings in the US would have been even greater. The same seems to apply when we go to the UK.

It would seem that the author of the said book is a self publisher and unfortunately they will always be more expensive. If you think it is worthwhile and necessary then it is not expensive.

Enjoy your trip and have fun.

Put simply it is the best resource available, particularly if you are wishing to access remote places of interest.

Hi Katie.
I bought a copy of 4WD tracks in Tasmania: Off road Tasmania
for my recent 2 week trip to Tassi.
And i thought $38 AU was expensive.
But reality it will save you a lot of research time and looking for tracks and places to go of road unless you are a local or member of a 4wd club etc.
Certainly helped me find some interesting places with the limited time i had.
One thing to remember i found a few tracks either closed or over grown since publication,or impassable due to high water.
Reminds me must contact the author to update the info.
And if your coming through Sydney you can borrow my book.

Rob.
