There is a great wealth of wonderful long-distance walks in Australia. Tackling them is often time-consuming and can be very expensive so choosing the right trail for you and your party is an all-important step.

Editor and writer Wendy Bruere has assembled a team of experienced Australian writer-hikers, including John & Monica Chapman, to survey and showcase the very best multi-day walks Australia has to offer, ranging from 3-day hops to some major 3-week (or more) challenges, and from right across the continent. Detailed descriptions, essential planning information, illuminating maps and stunning photography will inspire trekkers to lose no time in planning their next adventure. With the walks from this book you could be moved by profound mountain views or experience a living green cathedral, be awed by some of the worlds best coastal scenery or be thrilled by an unexpected wildlife encounter.

An Australian great walk can be an exhilarating experience and is sure to create memories that will last a lifetime.
