By contrast with Tyrone Thomas's book, John and Monica Chapman’s Day walks Tasmania is superbly designed with an easy to read format, plenty of photos, clear maps, gradient profiles and is printed in colour throughout.

While it covers only 41 walks, those selected are among the best and include appealing day trips in all areas of the state, although a few of Tassie's most appealing and popular walks are not included including Bishop and Clerk on Maria Island. The walk descriptions are detailed and clear. Highly recommended--© David Sisson
