"Cycling
Outback Australia - Ecotouring Travel Guide"
by Craig Bagnall and Nikki Brown
The concept of the Cycling
Outback Australia Guide was inspired by Craig and Nikki's own
tour around Australia during 1999 - 2000. The Guide is intended
to provide all the information they wish they had when they
were out there, without taking away the adventure. Added to
this is an environmental focus reflecting their own professional
backgrounds. The guide answers those loigical questions such
as "which route should I take?" "Where can I camp?" "Is there
water and food?" and "What is there to see?" Are you up for
the Adventure?
