A Day in the Bush Bush Walks in and Around Sydney

About this book

The first edition of A Day in the Bush was written for people seeking to undertake self-guided walks in the bushland and coastal areas of the Sydney region, and to do so confidently, competently and safely. A Day in the Bush also contained material for readers seeking a wider understanding and appreciation of the region's extraordinarily rich and diverse natural features.

This revised edition serves these same objectives – but goes further. It addresses the needs of parents and grandparents who wish to make bushwalking a family affair. To this end, it caters for a broader spectrum of bushwalking interests and abilities – from those of rank beginners to those who identify themselves as bushwalkers; includes a section on the 'why' and 'how' of bushwalking with children and teenagers, thus aligning A Day in the Bush with the growing movement to promote young people's outdoor activity; provides practical guidelines and suggestions for increasing young people's ability to have fun in bushland environments.
