Hemaโ€™s Great Desert Tracks series for trips across Australiaโ€™s Outback presented on four GPS compatible maps printed on light, waterproof and tear-resistant synthetic paper. The series was specially prepared by Hema using base maps from Geoscience Australia, the countryโ€™s national survey organization. The mapping shows roads and 4WD tracks, as well as very rough tracks which often become overgrown and may be difficult to follow. This information is divided into two groups: roads and tracks which were plotted during the fieldwork carried out by Hema, plus other tracks shown on the GAโ€™s 1:250,000 topographic survey maps and on other sources but not specifically verified by the publishers. The maps also show railways with stations and man-made features important for orienteering: disused railways, vermin proof fences, towers, gates, cattle grids, wells and waterholes, etc. Altitude colouring with relief shading and graphics indicates the terrain; national/state parks and reserves, aboriginal lands and restricted entry areas all indicated by colours. Permanent and mainly dry or salt lakes, sand ridges and cliffs are marked. The maps have a grid at intervals of 30โ€™ with additional 5โ€™ ticks along the grid lines. Where helpful, GPS coordinates are given for important junctions, isolated accommodation facilities, etc. A wide range of symbols indicate tourist information: various types of accommodation, stores, drinking water, medical facilities, petrol stations indicating types of fuel sold there, mechanical and tyre repairs facilities, etc. Each title includes contact details for useful organizations and historical annotations. The series provides an outstanding example of skilfully presented, informative cartography at its very best!PLEASE NOTE: alternatively, the whole area covered by this series is presented in a spiral-bound atlas with additional sections describing 25 4WD treks across Australiaโ€™s deserts, safety tips and advice, an illustrated fauna and flora guide, etc โ€“ the atlas is listed on our website in a separate series with other atlases and guides from Hema โ€“ please enter โ€œSI00001182โ€ in the search box.
