Resources for finding walks

Postby Oxygen45 » Sun 15 Sep, 2013 5:56 am

Hello all

I am looking for a resource to find walks. The area could include SEQ down to Coffs Harbour and inland to Armidale. So far bookshops have not been a help and the various government websites not all that easy to navigate. Are there any books or websites that collate this information?

Thanks.

And as you've already checked out....National Park websites in QLD & NSW

Just a few ideas to get you started......researching an area your interested in is all part of the fun. :wink:

There are a few of us bloggers out there that cover that sort of area and might be of use to you.

try these;

and of course our blog page: we are based in coffs harbour but get to a few different places.
