Omschrijving
4WD + Camping Escapes – South East Queensland is a guide to the best four-wheel driving and camping locations in South East Queensland. There is also a handy list of 4WD parks. Each regional section outlines the area’s 4WD Tracks and Featured Camping Areas, with a Camping Directory at the end to provide comprehensive coverage of other camping areas.
The complete atlas contains Hema’s new South East Queensland (QLD) map, featuring 24hr fuel, information centres, rest areas and points of interest.
This guide features 20 4WD tracks, each with its own detailed inset map showing the route taken. The range of trips includes some suitable for first-timers as well as others for the more experienced looking for something new to tackle. All of the tracks are colour-coded to make it simple to find the tracks that suit your type of vehicle and handy symbols show towing suitability too.
The featured camping area descriptions help you find a site to suit your requirements, whether you want a 2WD-accessible spot with toilets and a shower that’s suitable for your caravan, or a 4WD-only bush camp with no facilities but where your pet is allowed.
The book is written by Michael and Jane Pelusey, who are both keen outdoor enthusiasts and experienced travel writers.
There’s also plenty of essential pre-trip reading on terrain, permits, environmental issues, fishing and bushwalking.
