BWQ Bushwalk database portal
BWQ Bushwalk database portal – I have discussed with BWQ that we may add some local
publicly accessible tracks to the database. |
Townsville Bushwalking Club Flickr Group
This Flickr group aims to showcase the region and terrain that we bushwalk. Generally the walks are NOT on formed tracks - this is real "bushwalking". |
Paluma.Org
See also Walks, Tracks and Trails of Queensland's Tropics by Derrick Stone (CSIRO). You may be able to purchase it through paluma.org. The club and its members contributed information, data and photos for the local tracks published in the book. |
Wanderstories
Information on our region's hiking trails and national parks. |
QLD Globe
Maps – free on-line digital topographic maps at QTOPO, they are now available at 1:10,000 for most areas. If you use the Avenza app on your smart mobile device, you can download the QTOPO maps in Avenza for live topographic mapping on your device. Or you can print the maps from QTOPO if you prefer paper map (batteries don’t go flat on paper maps). The club recommends always carry a paper map as back-up if you do use smart devices for bushwalk navigation / mapping. |
