TIP: The online Bushwalk Inventory System can help bushwalkers with a variety of bushwalk planning tasks, including: Manage which items they take bushwalking so that they do not forget anything they might need, plan meals for their walks, and automatically compile food/fuel shopping lists (lists of consumables) required to make and cook the meals for each walk. It is particularly useful for planning for groups who share food or other items, but is also useful for individual walkers.

best shoes/boots under $100

As the title says..in the market for a decent pair. Getting sivk of $30 pairs from big w that last about 100kms before the inner sole is destroyed (and at that price not even worth getting a new inner sole). Durability is a must as im a bit of a heavy footed clutz and still constrained by budget. For example I see some shoes in the range on sale at anaconda but im not sure they would be any better than el cheapos to be honest

Usually see Gondwana Tyndall Mid for about $100. I bought a pair for my boys , they did the Southern Ranges and and SW Cape Circuit and still look OK.

thanks again guys. Rivers is a good suggestion, we have a shop a few minutes away and Ive never been in, might check them out today. their online store seems to have a good range in that price bracket but would like to see some stuff first
