Tasmania's Best Walks

Tasmania is a walker's paradise - the best known hiking destination in Australia.

This brand new guide in Australia's bestselling walking guide series introduces sixty walks (plus many suggestions for varying them), ranging from leisurely cliff-top strolls to rainforest-and-waterfall adventures and more rugged tracks deep in the state's famous national parks. Detailed descriptions and clear maps help the reader explore the stunning forests, glacial lakes and dramatic coasts.

The book is richly illustrated with over 300 full-colour photographs, dozens of maps, plus keys to birds, wildflowers and even fungi! A summary table of walks indicating distances, elevation gain and highlights is included to help the reader find exactly the right walk for the occasion.

This guide covers the entire island state and includes hidden gems as well as the deservedly better known trails.
