Edition 312: Hi ExplorOz Reader, We hope you enjoy this week's edition of our newsletter with all the latest information about what's happening on the website.
Cape York - Seisia to the Tip |
| This new trek note has come about due to changes in the structure of the ExplorOz Cape York section, now with 10 separate treks to allow you to mix/match from the relevant start/end points. We still have more work to go, but we'll release each new update in future newsletters as the work is completed.
This particular trek note provides a day trip from Seisia including a visit to Punsand Bay, Cable Bay, and out to Somerset and Fly Point including the return journey. (Can anyone add a photo of Fly Point please?).
This week we also changed the title of the Cape York - PDR trek to Cape York via Bypass Roads. Here is the new link.
Don't forget, the .plt or GPX file for any trek can be downloaded directly from Trek Notes free (Members only).

New Economy Courier Service
We’ve recently made a few tweaks to the ExplorOz Shop
delivery options and cart pricing. Now, when you add items to the cart
you’ll see the cheapest postage price we can offer (based on the address given). If you have a Post Office Box address pre-loaded in your profile you will not be
offered the new low price Economy Courier option as this is only valid for street addresses (but you
can change your delivery address in the next checkout screen). Obviously, the
cheaper delivery options are usually a little slower so we still offer the
Express Courier (overnight) option that has made our service so popular. To
select the fastest delivery option you need to select a different type of delivery service in the
final checkout screen just prior to payment. Delivery prices from ExplorOz can therefore range from as
low as $4.95 up to a maximum of $12.95 Australia wide depending on the service you require. For more information on the new low cost Economy Courier option read Blog. For additional help using the shopping cart refer to this Blog. |
