As published in the Canberra Times 18 March – 27 December 1992
These images were scanned from source material kindly loaned by Brian S. The source material consisted of prints of microfiche of Canberra Times Walks written by Murray Dow and published 18 March – 27 December 1992. These walk descriptions greatly encouraged me to take up walking some 12 years later. It was sad that I was unable to meet Murray and thank him.

If anyone believes that publication of this material in this way infringes copyright, please contact me and I’ll remove it.
