  • Parks & Reserves – with individual descriptions of 29 parks and reserves
  • Walk, Ride, Drive – with individual descriptions of over 120 walks, rides and drives

The Guide section has been broken into two sections – Guide to the Coast and Guide to the Hinterland – which give detailed background on the towns and major heritage sites in the region.
