SAVE OR LOAD A GEAR LIST
Saves both lists and their weights as one file you can keep or pass to someone else. Loading replaces the lists on this phone — it asks first.

This map draws every track the same way — it doesn't record surface, clearance, or whether something's closed after rain.
SAVE YOUR TRAIL
Saves your recorded trail as a GPX file — the standard format, so it opens in Google Earth, OziExplorer, Gaia and Garmin BaseCamp, and it is the file to hand to police or SAR if someone is overdue.

💧 IN THE BUSH — GENERAL SIGNS
• Follow terrain downhill — water collects in gullies, creek beds and valley floors
• V-shaped contour lines pointing uphill on topo map = drainage lines
• Dense green vegetation in dry landscape = subsurface moisture below
• Rock outcrops and cliff bases — water seeps through fractures, pools at base
• Animal tracks converging — multiple tracks merging = water source nearby
• Insect swarms (midges, mosquitoes) in dry conditions = water within 500m
• Bird flight paths at dawn/dusk — grain-eating birds (cockatoos, pigeons, doves) fly low and direct toward water morning and evening

• Bird flight paths at dawn/dusk — grain-eating birds (cockatoos, pigeons, doves) fly low and direct toward water morning and evening
🌿 VEGETATION INDICATORS
• Melaleuca (Paperbark) — almost always within metres of permanent or seasonal water
• River She-Oak (Casuarina) — lines creek banks and drainage lines
• Native ferns and mosses — indicate consistent moisture, especially on south-facing slopes
• Reeds and rushes — permanent or near-permanent water
• Eucalyptus with bright green foliage in dry season — roots reaching permanent water table
• Sandstone escarpment bases — water seeps through porous rock and pools at the contact zone
• River She-Oak (Casuarina) — lines creek banks and drainage lines
• Native ferns and mosses — indicate consistent moisture, especially on south-facing slopes
• Reeds and rushes — permanent or near-permanent water
• Eucalyptus with bright green foliage in dry season — roots reaching permanent water table
• Sandstone escarpment bases — water seeps through porous rock and pools at the contact zone
🏜️ ARID AND OUTBACK REGIONS
• Dry creek bed outer bends — dig 30–50cm into the sand on the outside of bends where water last flowed
• Base of rocky hills and gorges — look for dark staining or green algae on rock faces
• Spinifex rings — dead centre of old spinifex rings sometimes hold moisture
• Claypans after rain — temporary but substantial. Check low-lying areas on topo map

⚠️ DANGER SIGNS — AVOID THIS WATER
• Bright blue-green or rust-coloured surface scum — cyanobacteria (blue-green algae), extremely toxic
• Strong sulphur or rotten egg smell — hydrogen sulphide, contaminated groundwater
• Dead animals nearby or in the water
• Frothy, foamy surface in still conditions — chemical or biological contamination
• Yellow or orange staining on rocks — acid mine drainage in mining regions
• No other animals drinking from it — trust the wildlife
