This is the new, updated eBook version of a classic Australian survival reference, originally published in print form in 2000.
This digital version has been revised and updated where applicable (for example, more people use sat phones than HF radios in the outback now) but is essentially the same book as the old print edition (now out of print - this eBook is the only version currently available). It been revamped and re-published as a much more affordable eBook.
