Look at any walk description in A Day in the Bush to identify immediately the book’s distinctive features. All the basic information you need about the walks covered by the book - length, distance from the Sydney CBD, and suitability for children, for example – is immediately accessible. The track notes are presented in a block format so that the stages of the walk are easy to identify and follow. A numbering system is used to help you relate the notes for a particular walk to the accompanying map. The track notes not only guide your steps but also inform you about the landscape and bushland your are passing through. People who want to know more about the bushland about Sydney can delve into the landform and vegetation chapters in Part One of the book. There is also a chapter on the basics of bushwalking in Part One. An important service that comes with the book is the provision of six-monthly walk updates. These can be found on the book’s website and help to keep walks information reliable and current. Especially great if you walk with children
