So, autumn is here already and I have been busy writing up the final chapter of the Geelong, Bellarine and Brisbane Walks book. I love the rhythm of writing, but autumn is also my favourite walking time – mild days, crisp skies, fresh air with a bit of a bite, glorious colours, and fewer slithering friends to worry about. By June, I hope to be started on the next book, which will cover the Great Ocean Road and the Otways: I can’t wait! I don’t know about you, but sometimes, my feet just itch to get out walking, and when I am wandering along, I think there is nothing more joyous than to be out walking in our beautiful land. My walking buddy, Karen, epitomises this in a way my dodgy knees and hips can’t express: here she is on our recent walk to the Jarosite Headland near Point Addis. So what about you? How does a great day out on the track make you feel?

I always end a great walk with more energy than I started, especially if the views are as beautiful as the one in your photo!
The Mayo Clinic reckons walking lowers your blood pressure and improves your mood. http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/walking/HQ01612
If you’re looking for a great place for walking in the cooler months, head to Brisbane!

You’re right, Dianne – after the last weekend up in Central Queensland, in the glorious, near-perfect days, all I wanted to do was go climb a mountain! The closest to Bioela where I was, was the remarkable Mt Scoria, with its volcanic ‘singing’ rocks, but the rock-hopping route to the top is all overgrown and VERY snakey, so would save it for a cooler day next time.
