Walks: 50 Walks in North Queensland

Written by Tyrone T. Thomas, who has written extensively about bushwalks in Australia, this 140 page book is designed very specifically for people actually intending to do the walks throughout North Queensland. The walks are start at the Whitsundays and continue north to the Daintree Rainforest and west to Chillagoe and Hughenden. It is not a coffee table book for people who dream about doing interesting bushwalks. The book opens with the usual sensible advice - safety, common sense, first aid, equipment, mapping, food, navigation etc - and then it is straight into the 50 walks. There is a useful map (more detailed map references are provided), a comprehensive description of what you will see on the walk and then the basic information: time it takes to complete the walk, degree of difficulty, distance (to the nearest 100 metres) and other pertinent information. Walks range from pleasant 1 hour wanders to difficult 4 day walk on Hinchinbrook Island. This is a book for every bushwalker whether serious or social. The instructions are clear and, as far as we can determine, the information is accurate and sensible.
