A Heritage Field Guide
This is a collection of walks with an emphasis on heritage. Many of the walks have links with the past, while some are concerned with natural heritage. Two historic 19th century tracks are included, the romantic Six Foot Track and the Corn Trail. Other walks are set in the Barrington Tops (World Heritage-listed), Deep Pass, Murramarang National Park and the spectacular Budawangs.
Informative accounts cover history; the lifestyle of the Aborigines who lived in these areas; what plants, animals, and landmarks to look out for; as well as where to stay. Useful maps are also provided. Important issues like conservation and how to use our national parks responsibly, are also discussed.
These 53 walks range from short walks that could be linked up, to day walks, and some treks of two to four days.
