This set of six fine detail maps cover the Whipstick and Kamarooka sections of the Greater Bendigo National Park in Victoria. Included are the areas of Neilborough and Eaglehawk. They have been compiled from extensive research of early survey maps, reports and other Mines Department records, contemporary newspaper articles, interviews with local identities and personal observation. These maps highlight the difference between private and public land regardless of whether it is forested or not. Also on these maps are current roads, bush tracks, dams, alluvial gold workings, reef mines and places of historic interest. The author has driven down the roads shown on these maps using a GPS. Bush tracks, their names, condition and other information is subject to change or misinterpretation. Many parts of this park are thickly forested and devoid of landmarks. It is not uncommon for people to get lost here. Weila Publishing accepts no liability as to the inaccuracy of these maps.
