MOUNTAINS MISHAPS Death and Misadventure in the Blue Mountains of NSW Award-winning research sponsored by the NSW government and by the SES Volunteers Association. Every year in the Blue Mountains, up to 400 visitors get lost or need rescuing, with many spending an unexpected night in the bush. Most incidents happen in the same locations, within a few kilometres of civilisation. Readers will not only enjoy some gripping adventures, but also learn how to enjoy their trip in the Blue Mountains to the maximum. The over 620 episodes cover from the 1860s to the present day. Most people survived, but there were over 240 untimely deaths. There are in excess of 200 colour photographs and many maps. For the first time, all the Blue Mountains canyons are mapped together, and all the storms and snowfalls are catalogued. BUY from local bookshops like: Little Lost Bookshop, Katoomba. The Little Lost Bookshop is hidden in Ha'penny Lane. That's the laneway between the Woollies underground carpark and Katoomba Street.
