Walking for Fitness, Pleasure and Health
A complete guide for women of all ages
Author: Helen Vause
RRP: $25
Written by long-time walker Helen Vause and including a foreword from the co-founder of walking group Wonder Walkers Dame Susan Devoy, Walking for Fitness, Pleasure and Health is the walker’s ultimate guide.
Containing chapters on how to start walking, clothing and equipment, motivation, weight loss, nutrition, walking with children, pedometers, training for events, and much more, there’s something for everyone of all levels of walking expertise.
Walking has a particular appeal to women because, more than most men, they like the social aspect of walking about in little groups, nattering, supporting each other and maintaining networks.
It doesn’t matter whether you walk the dog, whether you are a race walker or an avid tramper. When people ask if you exercise, you should no longer feel embarrassed to say you ‘only walk’. Walking is now being recognised as a great form of valid exercise.

Fishing Sense
Authors: Philip Weigall
RRP: $37
As heard on ABC Big Fish with Scott Levi, 4BC Outback and Bay, 2XL Snowy Mountains, LAFM Tasmania Today and seen in Fishing Monthly, Flylife, VFFA Newsletter, FishMax, Fly Fisher, Life With Style and The Weekly Times.
Philip Weigall is considered to be probably the best writer on flyfishing in Australia and has a large following. Flyfishing, and fishing in general, is one of Australia’s – and the world’s – most popular outdoor activities. It’s a sad fact of flyfishing that there is no prescriptive manual for ensuring success.
It is an activity that defies simple evaluation, with enough variables to leave even the ‘experts’ scratching their heads from time to time. For example, why is it that a trout will respond to a certain fly one day, but ignore it entirely in identical conditions on another day?
Acclaimed flyfishing author Philip Weigall attempts to answer this question and many more in this engaging book. In his words, it is a book of ‘flyfishing truths’, a collection of techniques, ideas, concepts, knowledge and equipment that, to the best of his objective observations over many decades spent with a rod in hand, honestly seem to matter when it comes to catching trout.
