Hema’s Great Desert Tracks series for trips across Australia’s Outback in a revised coverage on four GPS compatible maps printed on light, waterproof and tear-resistant synthetic paper. The new maps, published in mid-2012, retain the same excellent cartography and wealth of information but with more convenient coverage on each double-sided title.

The series was specially prepared by Hema using base maps from Geoscience Australia, the country’s national survey organization. The maps show 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 GA’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 30’ with ticks at 5’. 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 general advice on travelling across such a demanding terrain and provides contact details for useful organizations.
