Visitor guides contain summary information such as suggested activities, safety and regulations and list the facilities available. Most also include a basic map showing the park boundaries, access roads and tracks and the location of main visitor sites and facilities. For larger parks there may be several guides for sections of the park.
Thanks to Andrew Robinson from Bush Navigation and Maps, who let Bushwalking Victoria know that the complete catalogue of Park Notes (over 200 of them) is now available at the Parks Victoria Visitor Guides Resource Library. They can easily be printed on a home printer. Many of the maps are also available in a georeferenced form through the Avenza app map shop for free.

Beechworth is a delightful, well preserved historical town famous for it`s major growth during the mid-1850`s goldrush.
Our accommodation for the weekend will be the charming Old Priory, located in the center of Beechworth. I have placed a hold on a large hostel styled dormitory with private bathrooms for our group. The cost per two nights is $140 ($70 per night). They also provide breakfast making facilities, access to sitting and games rooms.
A deposit of $140 will be required once accepted onto the trip to secure your booking.
This base camp will have limited numbers so if you are interested please contact me; I`m happy to answer any questions you may have. Check the "More Information ..." link for more details.

I have planned a Base Camp staying at Katoomba YHA for 8 nights.
The walks planned are based on walks from John Chapman’s “Day Walks Sydney”. Most of these walks are in the Medium/Hard to Hard range so I will only be accepting members onto the waiting list who have attended the more challenging walks of the club. Unfortunately, for those who enjoy a leisurely base camp there are no alternatives to accommodate you.
As cars will need to be hired for 3 days of the planned activities there will be a limit of 10, however, depending on interest this may be extended to 15 participants. Once advised that participants are accepted on the waiting list, then the final participants will be based on who has reserved flights and accommodation.
For details of the planned walks and other highlights of the planned base camp please email me and I will provide you with details.
There will be three DAWN LYREBIRD SURVEYS conducted over winter in the Dandenongs.
The dates are Sat 22nd June, Sat 6th July, and Sat 20th July.
Starts 0600 at Grants Picnic Ground, Kallista: bring torch, pencil, compass, warm clothing.
This is not a club activity, however, if you would like to participate or for more information contact Jan Incoll: bincoll@melbpc.org.au
