"'Footsteps from the past' provides a fascinating insight into the development of recreational walking in Australia. It does this mostly through a selection of stories and anecdotes which tell of the experiences of members of the Melbourne Walking Club over the past 100 years. These are set against the background of major developments in the walking environment during the period. Interspersed throughout the text are some 70 photographs, many of great social interest and most of them never published before.
A great read, not only for walkers of all ages, but for anyone interested in the Australian outdoors." -- Back cover
