Unlike its predecessors, this book does not aim to cover all tracks in the area, but most of popular routes are included. While the information was fairly up to date on publication, the constantly evolving nature of the high country; roads, tracks, huts and of course fires, has led to a few minor inaccuracies. There are a few minor errors of fact (Victoria Falls was not Victoria’s hydro scheme, it was preceded by at least six others dating back to 1889.), but there are no errors in the walk notes that would affect navigation.
A useful appendix contains a table of some of the more commonly ‘bagged’ peaks and an interesting, but incomplete, list of huts that existed at the time of publication. © David Sisson
