1.Lerderderg & Werribee Gorges Map Guide - 3rd Edition
IMPORTANT UPDATE: All of the original EMERGENCY SIGNPOSTS in the gorge have been replaced with new EMERGENCY MARKERS by ESTA (Emergency Services and Telecommunications Authority). Of major concern, however, is that the original numbering has been changed. The old (original) numbering is still in use in a number of available publications, including our very popular Lerderderg and Werribee Gorges Map Guide. Walkers using our map guide and other bushwwalking books must not confuse the original numbering with the new numbering.
Please download the following PDF which spells out all of the changes and even includes the Emergency Markers GPS co-ordinates:
