Tyrone Thomas, in association with Andrew Close, has gathered the best Tasmania has to offer in 100 Walks in Tasmania. Organised by region, the book covers walks to suit every level, grading them easy, medium or hard. All of the classics are here, as well as some lesser-known gems, including Wineglass Bay, Dove Lake, Walls of Jerusalem and the Tarn Shelf. Walks are described as circuits or retraces and have been planned so that public transport can be used to complete the circuit. Twelve selected walks, some of the best in the state, are overnight walks and will suit campers. Detailed route directions, track notes and time estimates give you all of the information you need to tackle the walks with confidence. This is the definitive guide to walking in Tasmania. Includes: 168 detailed maps; Comprehensive track notes; Complete index of walks arranged by region, major interest (i.e. beach, waterfall, wilderness etc) and season; Details of Tasmania's landscape and climate; Information on Tasmania's flora and fauna.
Contains comprehensive track notes for walking the South Coast Track in Tasmania. The guide has 9 -1:50,000 colour topographic maps of the entire track, 50 colour photographs plus gradient profiles of the track. This is an all colour production with full track notes for both directions along the trail. The colour topographic maps and notes have been colour coded for each direction to reduce confusion about which notes are currently being followed. This is one of the world's great wilderness walks and takes 6 to 8 days to walk. Most plan for 7 days and it is suggested to carry one spare days food in case of river floods causing delays. For those wishing to explore further than the South Coast Track, then the larger guide book South West Tasmania which also includes the South Coast Track should be considered. This book is actually a subset of that larger guide and we would expect walkers to use one or the other but not both. Note that the maps in South West Tasmania for the South Coast Track are a smaller scale (1:100,000) and there is less detail in the track notes as that book is designed for more experienced walkers.

The inspiring story of one man's survival after a life-changing accident, and how to find possibility in life's darkest moments. In a split second, Mark Berridge's life came crashing down. His bicycle understeered through a corner, the impact wrenching him over the handlebars and catapulting him headfirst into a stormwater drain. A large piece of dislodged vertebrae compressed his spinal cord, causing devastating nerve damage. The accident fractured Mark's body and his identity. Fortunately, his helmet – though deeply crushed – protected his ability to think and retain valuable memories, allowing him to pursue every possible avenue in his physical recovery and beyond. Mark spent more than six weeks in hospital and nine months in intensive rehabilitation. His sustained effort to regain mobility became an integral part of his new identity. A Fraction Stronger is Mark's story, focused on the insight and inspiration that will guide you through life's impossible moments. Mark shares how small actions, combined with determination to seek out possibility in the darkness, can light your way forwards.
Tasmania is utopia for bushwalkers – there are walks traversing many diverse landscapes, from exposed ice-carved moors and mountains to primordial rainforests, rugged river gorges and precipitous sea cliffs, as well as some that follow in the footsteps of convict labourers. Experienced travel writer Melanie Ball has hiked every track in this book for walkers of all levels of experience. Included are some of Tasmania's most famous walks, such as the Overland Track and Frenchman's Cap, plus some hidden gems. Most of the tracks can be completed in a few hours, but there are some multi-day walks for those wanting more of a challenge. For each walk there is detailed trail information, a map and photographs.
