Hi,

I'm looking for a few weekend and long weekend walks that are 20k ish per day but don't require overnight camping. Point to point or loop is fine as long as there is a taxi or bus to take us back if the former.

We're based in Canberra so there's a few legs of the Great Northern Walk that are convenient. The Canberra Centennial walk works too. A couple of the Vic rail walks eg Beechworth to Everton and back although it's all uphill one way and all downhill the other.

That's the sort of think I'm after if anybody can point me in the right direction I'd be very grateful.

You might find the CANWalk site useful. It has a fairly complete list of the Canberra region organizations involved in walking activities of one sort or another. Namadgi NP has a few longer loop and out and back walks from about 15 km to 19 km, but they are mainly on fire trails and management tracks. You could do parts of the Australian Alps Walking track but that does require camping if you are out overnight.

A great option near Melbourne is any one of the 8 legs of the Great Ocean Walk. Most legs have drive in access. Fabulous coastal scenery and a very well maintained and waymarked track.
