Beth's Review:
This is the sweetest little coffee table book. Covering off step-by-step instructions and a map for 112 different walks around Australia, I think it's perfect if you're after a little bit of weekend (or weekday) activity inspiration.
It hones in on each of the capital cities and based on what I know about Sydney the walks included are the main, more popular walks of the city. It offers up all the most useful info you need to decide on a walk such as distance (they are mostly on the long side), difficulty and my favourite tip, the "ideal season" to tackle the walk, which I think is super useful in narrowing down the options.
I think this would make a great gift or coffee table book for anyone after a bit of adventure inspiration and a fun thing to do would be to travel around Australia in an attempt to check them all off the list.
