Discover Australia: National Parks

Discover Australia: National Parks includes detailed up-to-date information compiled by a team of national parks experts, people who visit the parks regularly, write about and photograph them and lead tours to the more remote parks.

There are sections on touring Australia, on camping, on first aid and survival, and advice on 4WDing in parks where 4WD is welcome.

Over 125 national parks are dealt with in depth with maps and photographs: what to see and do, a park’s major attractions, facilities, flora and fauna, where the best camping spots are, access and more.
