Perfect for planning a week away in the Grampians… Although, with all the walks in the book, it could take us years!!!
We love it!

I thoroughly recommend this book because it has covered 86 walks and the recently opened Grampians/Gariwerd Peaks Trail (GPT). Each walk includes an easily read map broken down with distances so that you know where you are on the trail and an altitude graph. Haha so don’t complain when you get to the steep bits , you were warned. The book advises you about safety. ( I often see people walking with light shoes carrying nothing, no hat food nor water! ) The book has lots of photos to entice you to learn more about the flora and fauna, the beautiful indigenous markings which remind us that humans have lived here for a long time without destroying the area. The best way we can respect the area is to take only photos, leave only foot prints. Enjoy the Park with this thoroughly researched, beautiful and comprehensive book. Say g’day to folks you meet on the paths! Andcwhen you buy the book Monica and Phil will write you a personal dedication of your own words on the inside cover. Nice touch.

We recently enjoyed a long weekend in Halls Gap and the holiday cottage we rented had a copy of your book. Having already got a number of Grampians walks books on our shelf at home, we didn’t think we needed another one. How wrong we were! This guide is a cut above all the rest. It’s clearly the outcome of a labour of love, written by two people who know the place intimately. All the trails are wonderfully curated, combining old favourites and some newer surprises made possible by the newly-opened Grampians Peaks Trail. We loved the personal recommendations and the really fascinating context sections on flora and fauna, and indigenous place names. There’s a perfect amount of detail in the walking instructions (easy enough to follow, not so much that you get lost in the detail) accompanied by clear maps. The gradient graphs are another really useful feature that was very helpful in selecting trails. Thanks, Monica and Phil, for creating such a brilliant guide! We can’t wait to return to the Grampians with this guide in our rucksack!

What a thorough book! I am so glad to have ordered this. Maps, descriptions, information about start and end locations, distances, route type, water, etc. Probably the best route book I’ve come across for any parks/trail area!
Monica Coleman –
Thanks for your glowing comments Sarah. Hope you enjoy walking in the beautiful Grampians that we are proud to call our home.

Finally, a walking guidebook for exploring, in some depth, the multiple dimensions of a visit to the Grampians. Offering the most extensive range of walk options, along with intriguing insights and observations that could easily be missed without the guidance provided by the authors. A power pack of information, as well as inspiration, for appreciating the history, beauty and biodiversity of the Grampians.
Monica Coleman –
Thanks Sharon. Glad you like the huge amount of detail we have covered. Kept us off the streets during Covid-19!

Such a good book and so much useful information. Since getting it I have used it on several walks I know well, and it was so accurate. Now to try some new walks and some I haven’t done for some years.

Congratulations on a much needed book that provides a well presented introduction to walks in Gariwerd national park. Great publication.

Very easy to read. Very colourful and maps for the walks make it so easy to follow. A good size book with easy instructions to follow. Well done!

Great size for the glove box or backpack. Lots of new destinations we didn’t know of until now. Easy and simple directions for the walks. Love the wildflower and nature section in the back. Well done. A book to use year after year as there’s so much content.

Monica and Phil, I just wanted to congratulate you on such a wonderful book on the Gramps walks. I have now had a good look through the book and am inspired to do many of the legs of the GPT plus get re-acquainted with many of the other hikes.
Clear maps and instructions with good info. I am sure it will be very well received.
Excellent work.

I love it… the detail, personal touch, stories, inviting people to record dates of their walks… haven’t had a big read as yet but definitely love it… Congratulations to you both!
