Title: Camps Australia Wide 7
Post by: Frostd on December 07, 2011, 07:59:46 AM

Fired off an email to Camps Australia Wide the other day, as I am in the market to purchase the Camps Australia Wide 6.  I wanted to know when Camps 7 is scheduled to come out and to my surprise the reply was

"We produce a new edition every 2 years, Camps 7th edition will be released in March 2012
Our online ‘Update Service’ is free to Camps 6 users until Dec 2014 so you can update the current edition with any changes we find while travelling/researching. "

Looks like i wil be waiting until March 2012.  Not sure of what updates/new ideas will be in the new edition.

Good info. We absolutely love our Camps 6 book and it was essential reading on our recent around Oz adventure.

Just a question on these free updates though. Has anyone used the service and how would you apply it?

Cheers - Wayne

Wasn't the Camp 6 published Feb 2011, so that would be early 2013 for camps 7?? I was looking at buying the Camps 6 but may hold off now if they will release a new one in early 2012.

We have number 6 and used it when we went to Lake Eyre.
Pretty good book.
This reminds me that I have to check the updates.

Yep, just checked the publication date in mine and it's definitely Feb 2011. I held of buying Camps 5 to wait for Camps 6 and it only seems like yesterday!

Great that they update them regularly I suppose.

Wayne,

When we had camps 3, I jumped on their site to check the updates and there were a few so all I did was to print (copy and paste) them off and then just grab the camps book and a pen and nikko and cross out any or change the info required ie phone numbers etc. But we have now purchased camps 6 and so that will get updated for the next few years until they bring out camps 10!! (we still have camps3 though)
