Edition 381: 15 April 2015
Hi ExplorOz Reader, Ooops! We missed last week's newsletter. Perhaps it was something to do with Easter interruptions...
This month, with the special 100th ANZAC Day celebrations we expect most Australian's will be feeling reflective but don't forget that other very important day of recognition is also coming up - Mothers' Day. We have some great ideas this year for how to treat the special "Mum" in your life so read on.
Happy Camping!

| 50% Discount on High Quality Trekking Poles
Trekking/hiking poles, are the ultimate gift for you or the special mum who likes walking in the outdoors.
There are many advantages to using hiking poles, most notably that they offer better balance hiking over rough terrain and reduce stress on your body during both the ascent and descent. Poles can also act as a probe to give you more information than you get with your eyes, and you can use them to push away scrub, and spider webs.
Black Diamond hiking and trekking poles are regarded as the top brand on the global market and we are very pleased to have secured this special deal for ExplorOzers at 50% off. This model features 3 telescopic sections, a focus on ergonomic comfort in the design, and adjustable features. This is a genuine, limited time deal so avoid disappointment and snap up a bargain on these top quality hiking poles now.

Unlike conventional maps, the Outback Travellers Guide "strip-map" concept provides a unique visual reference. Using photography, track notes and mapping, these are designed to be used as a companion to sheet maps, offering a closer look at what is out there, where to find

 | ANZAC Day
The members of ExplorOz have established a tradition that we observe annually for showing respect and remembrance on ANZAC Day. If you would like to participate please take note that only Forum posts created via a Comment to the ANZAC Legacy article is allowed.
This means you must open the The ANZAC Legacy article first (notice this is not part of the Forum, but an article compiled by The ExplorOz Team that is accessible by going to the ExplorOz Articles). To find the Articles section of the ExplorOz website, refer to the site menu headings between Road Alerts & Recipes. This article is indexed in the Australiana - Australian Identity section (or just click the link provided above).
Then, if you wish to make a statement or start a conversation about ANZAC Day you must leave a comment at the bottom of the page, which will create a new post in the Forum (this is our standard Article-to-Forum cross-linking feature). Your post will then appear with the title "Comment: The ANZAC Legacy" and can be found both in the Forum and in the Comment section at the bottom of the article.
If you are viewing the Forum and see posts appear with the title "Comment: The ANZAC Legacy" you are welcome to reply within those Forum posts. This links ANZAC content together on ExplorOz and creates a long-lasting, commemorative record that future readers can peruse at any time.
