Paperback. 368 pages. (includes standard postage).
Discover the walking trails, wetlands, forests, coastlines, rivers, reserves and hidden corners of Wellington Shire.
The Walking Trails of Wellington Shire is a detailed guide to many of the region’s most interesting walks, ranging from short accessible paths and peaceful wetland loops to longer bush tracks, coastal walks, rail trails and alpine routes. Covering locations across Gippsland, including Sale, Maffra, Heyfield, Loch Sport, Port Albert, McLoughlin’s Beach, Tarra-Bulga, Won Wron, Mullungdung, the Alpine National Park and beyond, this book brings together practical walking information, local history, natural features and community stories.
Each chapter includes track details such as distance, walking time, grade, access notes and start/finish points, along with descriptions of the landscapes, flora, fauna and history that give each place its character. From rainforest gullies and mountain views to saltmarsh, wetlands, old railway corridors, historic cemeteries, coastal reserves and quiet riverside paths, this guide invites readers to slow down, look more closely, and discover the richness of the region on foot.
More than a simple walking guide, this book also records stories of people, places and communities connected to these landscapes, including cultural history, environmental conservation, local heritage, memorial walks and the volunteers and organisations who help care for these special places.
Whether you are a local resident, a visitor to Gippsland, a casual walker, a history lover, a nature enthusiast, or someone looking for new places to explore, The Walking Trails of Wellington Shire is an invitation to discover the region one track at a time.
