Hey All,

I am reading P.A. Yeomans' 1958 classic "The Challenge of Landscape". I 
found a couple of online versions of this book, thanks to the generosity 
of Yeomans' sons.

I'm up to chapter 14 "Unfolding the Plan" where Yeomans works through a 
sample property "Yonaroo". The web sites I'm reading don't have maps of 
this landscape which makes the discussion really hard to follow. I have 
tried sketching out the property based on the other maps in the book, 
but I keep running into inconsistencies so clearly I have it wrong.

I'm wondering if someone with a real copy of this book could have a look 
and see if there is a map in that chapter and if so, email me through a 
snapshot of it?

This book really is an amazing work. I just wish I had 100 acres of land 
I could try it out on! It's such a disgrace that 50 years on this still 
isn't standard farming practice.

  ...Richard.
