Recommend a Bushwalking Trail book

[bcshort]

Hi Folks,

I'm looking for recommendations for some walking books. I'm looking for something that is a little more specific to the South East, and typically walks that can be done in a day.

I currently have the "120 walks in Tasmania" 1st Edition book that covers all sorts of walks around the state, but is a little limiting in tracks around the south east that arent all that lng.

All advice appreciated

Cheers
Ben

There's a range of Family Walking books for Tassie that are quite good- I know there's one for the Hobart region and for the Huon Valley, so might be worth looking into.

I have one titled "Family Bushwalks in Tasmania's Huon Valley" by Nell Tyson and Annie Rushton. Driftwood Publishing, Dover. It gives a brief description, difficulty rating and approximate time for each walk. It also includes very basic sketch maps. It's in a similar style to the Hardy and Elson guide books I've seen. A friend of my wife gave it to her a few years ago, I think after returning from a Tassie trip. I can't see a publication date but assume it's still in print. This link indicates that it probably is (and the site appears to have other books covering the area):

Alright, Call me confused, but why is this thread appearing in 2 forums? i.e Bushwalking in Tasmania & Between Walks - is there some sort of forum-fu going on here that is confusing me?

Forum-fu? The topic was moved by one of the moderators from "Between Walks" - the icon is softer - to "Bushwalking in Tasmania". You can read about forum icons here.

Yeah, the 'Between Walks' forum is really for non-bushwalk-related topics, so I moved it to what I think is a more appropriate forum. I left the 'shadow topic' behind in the old forum so that you could still find it there too. While the topic in the new forum will be on top of the list when it gets new posts, the 'shadow topic' in the old forum will gradually drop down the list as other topics in that forum get newer posts.
