There was another map
shop in Unley Road. We were good friends with the owners. That shut a couple of years ago.
The one in the city was/is an exceptional
shop, as was the one in Unley Road..
One of our main expenses in preparation for a remote trip in the 60s and 70s was buying the 1:250,000 survey maps for the area we were going to visit. I still have most of them.
I really like a good paper map.
Cheers,
Peter

I met member Phil B in the Map
Shop in
Perth before it closed. A magnet for explorer types.
