For the first time in a single volume, this book brings together more than 150 of the best walks, tracks and trails in Victoria, which can be walked, cycled or driven by the moderately fit individual. They are located in national and state parks, state forests, conservation reserves, historic parks and local government and public easements. Other routes follow state highways, old railways and gold routes, or pass bushranger haunts and back roads linking towns, historical and geological or geographical features.
Most of the routes chosen do not require specialist navigation or hiking skills, and vary from a short 45 minutes on a boardwalk to four-day long distance walking and camping.
