The Gundungura Project of Sydney University Rover Crew
The Gundungura Guide
Dr Geoff Ford has made a scanned copy of the Gundungura Guide to a
large part of the Southern Blue Mountains available in the public
domain. Goeff Ford, while a student at Sydney University was the
originator of the "Gundungura Project" undertaken by the Sydney
University Rover Crew in the 1960's. The results of the project were
a large sketch map - The Gundungura Map and this guide book. This
guide, which was only printed in a limited number, dates from 1970
and has now become a collectors item for bushwalkers.
You can download
the scanned copy here.
Geoff has also prepared a background document to the Gundungura
Project - it
