Top Walks in Victoria 3rd edition by Melanie Ball

Experienced travel writer Melanie Ball has hit the trails again to bring you Top Walks in Victoria 3rd edition, a guide to the state’s best hikes for walkers of all levels of experience.

From the high country to the goldfields and onwards to the Great Ocean Road, Victoria is a well-loved bushwalking destination, and this book provides walks for each part of the state. Most of the tracks can be completed in a few hours, but there are some more difficult multi-day walks for those wanting more of a challenge. For each walk there is detailed trail information, a map and photographs that you’re likely to see along the way.

This latest edition features 63 walks, with updated tracks from the previous editions, as well as a few new ones!

A guide to the top walks around Victoria for walkers of all levels.
