🧴 Optional Lamination – Built for Field Use

Upgrade to a fully laminated version of the Otways map to make it as rugged as the trails you're exploring:

• ✅ Use whiteboard markers to plot routes, mark key stops, or track progress—then simply wipe clean.

• ✅ Apply map dots to favourite campsites, hidden waterfalls, or "must-return" spots.

• ✅ Laminated using high-quality 80-micron gloss film on both sides—making the map tear-resistant, waterproof, and perfect for repeat use in any weather.

• ✅ Great for use on the dashboard of a 4WD, spread out at the campsite, or hung on a wall for trip planning.

Note: The laminated version is produced by flattening and encapsulating a folded map. Some minor fold lines may remain visible, though they do not affect readability or function.
