Top Walks in Victoria
by Melanie Ball, 3rd Edition

Experienced travel writer Melanie Ball is back on the trails for a third time, bringing together the very best of Victoria's walking tracks for hikers at every level of experience.

This edition covers the state end to end, from the high country and historic goldfields to the dramatic coastline along the Great Ocean Road, with routes chosen from every region. Most walks can be completed in just a few hours, but a handful of tougher multi-day treks are included for those after something more demanding. Each entry comes with detailed trail notes, a map, and photographs to help you know what to expect along the way.

Now featuring 63 walks in total, this third edition updates the tracks from earlier editions and folds in a fresh batch of new routes, keeping the guide current for anyone planning their next Victorian hike.

Ball's own path into travel writing began with an overland expedition truck journey from London to Johannesburg, and in the decades since, her writing and photography have appeared widely across Australian publications, including RACV's Royal Auto magazine. A committed bushwalker in her own right, she's tackled trails from Argentina's Tierra del Fuego to Ethiopia's Simien Mountains, bringing that same passion and first hand knowledge to every walk in this book.
