Default Watagans trail maps?

Hey guys, anyone know if there's a detailed topographic map of the Watagans National Park that shows all the minor trails? My GPS shows all the main logging roads but there's plenty of minor tracks we came across that aren't marked.

Had an awesome time up there during the week but our local guide couldn't make it at the last minute (I think his dog tried to eat a lawnmower or something and got a bit of a belly ache) so it was a bit hit & miss finding the good ones by ourselves.

The wattos are broken up onto 2 topo maps.The Dooralong map and the Morisset map.Most of them will come up on google earth or google maps.My GPS brings up most of them except for the ones that have there own nick names like hell hill and skull and cross bones and so on, so im surprised yours doesnt bring them up as well.

Thanks for the info; will look those topo maps up! Yeah, I have the MyGig nav unit that came with my JK; nice big screen & great for cities & paved roads but not much detail for offroad. Wierd thing is that some of them that showed up & were named as "roads" were little more than dirt-bike tracks, while other 4WD-sized ones we stumbled upon were unmarked (unless they were just logging tracks in the State forest end?).

I"m thinking of doing what one of the guys here (Hunty from memory) has done & mount an iPad on the dash so I can access google maps & nav apps while I'm in the bush.
