Most of the tracks can be completed in a few hours, but there are some more difficult multi-day walks for those wanting more of a challenge. For each walk there is detailed trail information, a map and photographs that you're likely to see along the way. In this second edition of Top Walks in Victoria, all of the track information has been updated and four new walks have been added.
