Glenn Tempest is relatively new to writing walking guidebooks, although in the past he has been a regular contributor of walking notes to outdoor magazines and has written a number of rock climbing guides.

This guidebook is one of the best covering Victoria. It is well designed in full colour, the maps are informative and fairly clear and the routes are well chosen and clearly described, although the coverage of some is a little brief. Weekend walks has reasonably detailed descriptions of 17 walks, lasting from two to four days. It ranges a little further afield than the day walks volume, with the coverage extending to places like The Prom, Cape Otway and Castlemaine. --© David Sisson
