To read Gecko online you require Adobe PDF Reader. What is Adobe PDF?
Some of these PDF files are less than 1 MB - best viewed with a broadband connection, but they can still be read with dial-up - it just takes a little longer!
You can print any number of copies of Gecko with Adobe Reader.
The traditional printed Gecko is still available through the Bushcare office at BMCC Katoomba.
