Introduction


Canberra & district map 250K
Gridlines at 10000m intervals. UTM zone 55H



Map showing Canberra, the Australian Capital Territory and surrounding New South Wales.
This is the area in which all the walks described in this blog are located.
This is an image of a cropped extract from 1:250000 Natmap mosaic map [CANBERRA ED3 - 1998 SI55-16] exported from NATMAP Raster Premium DVD using Raster Exporter. The image file is exported to a destination on your computer by the following path: Raster Exporter>250K mosaic>Canberra ED3_1998 [SI55-16]>Export>Save as: destination =destination; file name=filename;type=JPEG>Output resolution=100%. File size for entire map is 4.3MB and 4687 x 3125 pixels. The file was opened and manipulated using Microsoft Office Picture Manager. The cropped file is ~400KB. The exported file is then uploaded to the blog post using the 'add image' function. Click on the image and it will zoom to full extent.





So this is blog #2; my first blog dealing with my cancer treatment is now thankfully falling into disuse. This new one will explore the possibilities of blogging with its theme being my love of walking [and navigating] in the Canberra district.
