Australia and NSW are finally getting their act together in the creation of world-class walks. In the past 10 years there’s been the opening of the Three Capes Track in Tasmania, the Scenic Rim Trail in Queensland, and the Grampians Peaks Trail in Victoria. The Grampians Peaks Trail NSW has no such Great Walk, but that’s soon to change with the announcements of the Great Southern Walk from Botany to the Illawarra, and the Great South Coast Walk from Bundeena to Mallacoota, plus a new Blue Mountains Great Walk.If the Government uses rigour such as cost-benefit analysis (amongst public consultation, environmental impact statements and others), then we’ll never have to hear about a walks rorts scenario. Feature image thanks to @hikeandseek
