With the help of grants from the SA Department for Environment and Heritage, Friends of the Great Victoria Desert published the field guide, Shrubs and Trees of the Great Victoria Desert, by Marlene Friebe and Bill Matheson, in 2005.
It describes 50 of the more common trees and shrubs in the area. Some, like the wonderful Marble Gum, Eucalyptus gonglyocarpa, are only found in the GVD. The book has proved to be of great interest to outback travellers and it has had two printings. As at June 2018, only a few dozen copies are left, but a further printing is possible.
The book may be purchased by contacting our treasurer. Recommended retail price: $10.00 (plus postage if ordering from the treasurer). Wholesale price: $6.00 per copy (plus postage) for booksellers ordering bulk copies.
We produce a newsletter once or twice a year. It provides reports on our field trips and other information. Go to Newsletters.
Our Information Sheet (250 KB .pdf file) is a printable double-sided A4 document. It includes coordinates and vegetation information for seven points along the Friends' self-drive trail in the Mamungari Conservation Park.
