4WD Days out of Perth

More than a decade has passed since the first edition of this book was published and the demand is still amazing. So, by popular request, here's the fourth edition. Obviously, mankind's century-long love affair with motorised transport remains alive and well. The continuing demand for this book is an excellent indicator of the current level of popularity of 4wds and 4wdriving with the people of Perth.

As usual, a number of alterations to the tripnotes have been necessary due to a variety of reasons including changes in land ownership, the creation of new national parks, mining and conservation requirements, re-alignment of logging tracks, new tracks obliterating the old and increasingly restrictive measures on 4wd access by government departments.

It's getting harder and harder to find touring routes through our forests that the authorities are happy for to be publicised. Once again, the challenge has been to unearth new locations and navigate a way through a maze of rules and regulations to retain as many trips as possible within easy reach of the metropolitan area. While most managers agree that 4wdriving is a legitimate leisure activity, especially when the often historic routes being followed are an important part of our heritage, the prevalence of dieback fungus in our state forests and on our sand plain reserves is an enormous problem that we all must recognise and help to fight by complying with the rules.

Westate believe that this edition will continue to provide pleasurable destinations and thoughtprovoking information that will assist in making your forays around our beautiful bush lands and beaches a highlight of your 4wdriving days. In return, they trust you'll care for the country you cross to keep it for your kids.

Flip Cards: Rule of the Road

Flip Cards is a system of learning using playing card sized cards that has been developed over more than 30 years to be the most effective, simple, method of learning and checking knowledge of maritime systems, codes and rules.

These cards show the view forward from the deck of various vessels (power, sailing and fishing) of developing traffic situations at sea. In each case the mariner has to decide the correct course of action to navigate his vessel through the hazard. The reverse of the card gives the proper course and also quotes the relevant collision rule.

Invaluable for yachtsmen (especially those taking the excellent RYA Yachtmaster, Day Skipper and Competent Crews courses), students, navy cadets and professional seamen who are studying for a qualification or who wish to increase their understanding of sailing and marine procedures.

The cards are printed on high quality art board with rounded corners and are packed in attractive transparent PVC wallets. Each pack is easily carried in the pocket or handbag so that study can be made wherever the user finds convenient.

Flip Cards: Lights and Shapes

Flip Cards is a system of learning using playing card sized cards that has been developed over more than 30 years to be the most effective, simple, method of learning and checking knowledge of maritime systems, codes and rules.

An extremely useful set of cards which makes a difficult subject much easier. Each card shows a vessel's display of night-time navigation lights (in colour) or daytime shapes, as seen from your position. In the case of the cards showing lights the vessel's silhouette is just discernible. The meaning is shown on the back of the cards as usual. This set has been a "best seller" for over 20 years because learning the lights and shapes is a major part of a mariner's study and without Flip Cards it's not easy.

Invaluable for yachtsmen (especially those taking the excellent RYA Yachtmaster, Day Skipper and Competent Crews courses), students, navy cadets and professional seamen who are studying for a qualification or who wish to increase their understanding of sailing and marine procedures.

The cards are printed on high quality art board with rounded corners and are packed in attractive transparent PVC wallets. Each pack is easily carried in the pocket or handbag so that study can be made wherever the user finds convenient.

These WA charts are not intended as meeting any chart carriage requirements under either Australian or International regulations, such as SOLAS V. The Australian Hydrographic Service and the UK Admiralty both publish official charts of Australia that meet these regulations.

Mariners should keep their charts up to date by regularly incorporating the relevant Notices to Mariners.

The Department's paper nautical chart series is compiled to specifications based on those of the International Hydrographic Organisation, the worldwide charting standardisation authority, and are printed in full colour onto high quality map paper.
