Looking for author

Mon 08 Jun, 2015 4:04 pm

Hi. For my latest research on the Blue Mountains Shire chert quarry at Mount Victoria, I'm looking for a way to contact Greg Powell or his family. Greg wrote a few bushwalking books including "Bushwalking through History, The Blue Mountains". Macstyle who published that book have changed hands several times since that was printed in 1989 - so that lead closed off.
Can any Bushwalk forum readers help please?
