Seventy Walks In Southern N S W A C T

This book contains information about seventy walks in New South Wales and Australian Capital Territory and highlights both the Great Dividing Range and the coast. Snowy Mountains walks are also a feature. The margins of the region covered extend from the Mittagong-Nowra district to the Victorian border and inland to Narrandera and Barooga. Special attention is given to the walking needs of Canberra and Wollongong residents. Like other titles in the best-selling series, "70 Walks in Southern New South Wales and Australian Capital Territory" also offers a wide variety in length and difficulty, which competently serve the needs of all walkers - from the novice to the highly experienced. Walks are graded as easy, medium and hard and all are circuits or retraces, thereby facilitating transport access. Special sections deal with safety, mapping and navigation and a map is provided for every walk suggestion.

This is the first of a series of books describing exciting birdwatching locations in Australia. The NSW-ACT Guide is arguably the most comprehensive compendium of birding sites in the State available to date. Not only the standard, well-known locations are covered but also some interesting places known only to a few or newly discovered by ourselves. The book series is intended for both Australian and overseas birders. We hope it will become an essential field companion to a birding enthusiast. In today's time-poor society, the ability to maximise your bird finds in an unfamiliar area in a typically short vacation time available, should be a serious help. For each site, at the minimum, the access details, habitat description, site facilities and key avifauna are addressed. Most data is based on personal records, cross-checked and augmented with the verified sightings reported online. The book is divided into regions including greater Sydney, Hawkesbury, Hunter region, Illawarra, Southern Highlands, South-East NSW, Mid North Coast, Northern Rivers, Western Slopes and Tablelands, Riverina region, Central West NSW, Far West NSW and Australian Capital Territory. The book is richly illustrated with photographs of birds and bird habitats. Book 2: Australian Good Birding Guide: Tasmania Book 3: Australian Good Birding Guide: Victoria
