Title: Walks, tracks & trails of Queensland's tropics
Description: "Queensland's Tropics provide numerous environments for enjoyable walking: from lush rainforests, cloud-shrouded mountains, extinct volcanoes, savanna woodlands and magnificent beaches on the coast and Great Barrier Reef islands. This book brings together more than 150 of the best walks, tracks and trails in Queensland's Tropics, located within the coastal strip between Rockhampton and Cooktown. Walks vary from short boardwalk strolls in the lowland rainforests of Daintree National Park to 4-6 day hiking and camping trips on Hinchinbrook Island. Other routes follow old gold miners' and forestry tracks or coaching routes or feature historical sites, rivers, lagoons, geological and geographical formations or much earlier Aboriginal communication tracks where Dreamtime stories add a further dimension. Most routes are best completed during the 'Dry' season (May to October) and walked by moderately fit individuals"--Page [4] of cover.
