Detailed descriptions and maps help the reader explore the regions parks, bushland, rivers, coasts and most interesting urban areas. As with previous titles in the series, the book is richly illustrated with over 150 full-colour photographs and dozens of detailed maps. A summary table of walks indicating distances, facilities and highlights is included to help the reader find exactly the right walk for the occasion. Covers the full coastal stretch from the You Yangs Regional Park in the north, along the beautiful Bellarine Peninsula and the Great Ocean Road, and then on to Torquay. Includes detailed coverage of the best walks in Geelong.
