[QUOTE="Moneybox, post: 137139, member: 3960"] We purchased Doug Stone's WA gold atlas for about the same amount. The accuracy is poor, the navigation is an invitation to get lost in the desert. On the back of the book there's a little on how to read the coordinates but most maps do have any. The mud maps don't match the roads and tracks and the up side of the page is not necessarily north but that's not marked either. Now saying that we did get enough from some of the maps to guide us to a couple of locations where we found gold. Yes there's some value in the book but the maps and lack of navigational detail are so poor that they could lead people into a dangerous situation. If he truly new these areas even coordinates from Google Earth would be enough to safely guide people in and out of these desolate uninhabited areas. Good luck with the NSW maps. Phil [/QUOTE]
