JOHN BLAY is a writer, naturalist and walker. He has written extensively about the bush and its people in poetry, drama and prose. Since 2001, the south-east forests of New South Wales have been the focus of his work, often in association with local Aboriginal communities. 

On Track is an exquisitely written story of John Blay’s long-distance search for the old ways of travelling between the Kosciuszko high country and Twofold Bay near Eden on the New South Wales far south coast. One 360-kilometre route traverses some of the nation’s wildest, most remarkable landscapes from the highest part of the continent to the ocean. This epic bushwalking story traces the region’s people, natural history, country and the rediscovery of an ancient track. Now heritage-listed, the Bundian Way is an important shared history pathway, and— thanks to the work of Blay, Aboriginal people and local communities—the Bundian Way is set to be one of the great Australian walks.
