Where to find topographic hiking maps

[BushWalkerNO1utube]

I have been looking for some topographic maps for bush walking mainly in the blue mountains but does anyone know of any websites where I can download a map or buy one?

For paper maps try the Land and Property Information Map shop at the Hyde Park end of Macquarie St in Sydney. The shop is a bit hard to find as its tucked away from the street. You have to walk in past an old historic building. Its in behind that on the right. They have all the maps for NSW.

Wild walks has all the maps online. But you're better off just buying hard copies IMO.

The map shop at parramatta sells them online too. Pretty quick service and cheap postage. Should be able to google them

I'm having increasing difficulty sourcing paper 1:25,000 topos online but I often find what I'm looking for in a local newsagency or information centre close to where I'm planning to walk. In the past I have successfully ordered through adventure stores who are putting in regular orders of their own.
