Take A Walk in South East Queensland National Parks

South East Queensland in the Take a Walk series of books by John and Lyn Daly, two of the most experienced bush walkers in Australia, is a walking guide suitable for beginners as well as experienced bushwalkers. A comprehensive presentation of each walk offering localised maps, directions, advice on the difficulty, notes on the area and colour photographs makes this guide the perfect companion for exploring this region and discovering its beauty. The book starts with an introduction providing advice on staying safe, navigation, equipment and protecting the environment. It then organises East Queensland into Brisbane Region, Sunshine Coast and Hinterland, Gold Coast and Hinterland, Main Range and Mount Barney Regions, Darling Downs and Granite Belt. For each area it provides a specific overview on the evolution and environment as well as suggestions on how to get there. It then goes into detailing a range of walks (almost 2000 km of walking tracks and trails), from short strolls to half-day moderate walks and overnight walks, requiring a higher level of experience and fitness. The information provided for each trek includes distances and times, difficulty grading, a sketch map showing the trail and facilities along the route, access directions, where to picnic and camp, useful organisations and contact numbers. Throughout, the book is annotated with facts and curiosity and illustrated with colour photographs. Take a Walk in South East Queensland will help you discover the natural hidden treasures of this region.
