Do it Yourself Mapping tool

Here is an incredibly powerful tool anyone can use. It is perfect for persons of outdoors interests of just about any specialisation. 

It is built by the Federal Government to map Australia's mineral resources and Mines, (operational and old ones).

However, it has an interesting alternative use.

You can simply hit the topography button (which blanks out the mine mapping options) and zoom in (use the + symbol and click back on the the map, repeatedly) to map any area of Australia and convert it to a printable small scale PDF map and print off any area in Australia you are interested in.

Bingo: Do it yourself small scale - topographical maps of any part of Australia - free of charge.

Who says the Federal Government doesn't have its uses?

Here is an example of Granite Falls and Tianjara Falls district (the subject of my previous postings).
