For 2012, we have gone completely electronic and can offer Kuju Wangka's excellent but sizeable information booklet, which should be carried on your laptop or tablet along with your permit. However to assist the native rangers, we ask you to print a copy of your permit. They will not accept excuses that the electronic permit has been lost on the trip, so a paper copy which is only one page, is essential.
If you do not wish to carry your information on your laptop, then as you plan your trip, simply print the relevant pages for easy reference by your group.
