Melbourne S Best River, Bay and Lakeside Walks

Book excerpt: Melbourne boasts a huge range of beautiful natural environments, making it perfect for exploring on foot. Melbourne's Best River, Bay and Lakeside Walks, joining the hugely successful walking guides series from Woodslane Press, introduces the best walks for visitors and residents alike, ranging from fascinating riverside walks and leisurely bay-side strolls to the more natural parklands and bush tracks beyond the urban fringes. Detailed descriptions, clear directions and colour maps help the reader explore Melbourne's parks, bushland, bay-side beaches and rivers. As with previous titles in the series, the book is richly illustrated with over 150 full- colour photographs. A summary table of walks indicating distances, facilities and highlights is included to help the reader find exactly the right walk for the occasion.
