	Canberra ACT The start/finish for this 11km city and lakeside walk is the entrance to Commonwealth Park at the pedestrian overpass over Parkes Way . The walk is generally flat, with some gentle rises, along paved paths. This is a postal arrangement walk
	Sydney NSW There are two walks in Sydney: i) the 10 km Historic Sydney City walk (which is generally flat and easy), and ii) the 10 km Manly Scenic Walkway – which is more arduous and requires the use of public transport (bus and ferry) to the start and then again to return from the finish. Both walks now rely on the postal arrangement system.

This 10km Mitchell River and city walk is generally flat through the town and along the bank of the Mitchell River with a couple of small rises.

“Walk Box” Arrangements

The Lakes Entrance and Bairnsdale walks use the “Walk Box” system – whereby the maps, route description, IVV stamp etc. are contained in a “Walk Box” which is housed at a commercial premises. The premises which have agreed to hold the Box has no duties other than to hand over the Box when asked for it, and take it back when the walker has completed his/her registration etc. The premises hold the box voluntarily, and get no payment for it. (However, your support of their business would of course keep them interested in providing this service.)

All you have to do is ask for the “Aussie Walk Box” at the counter. The box has the instructions, registration sheet, maps and route description, and the IVV stamp. After completing the walk, you may apply the IVV stamp on an honesty system – although you do have to answer some questions about sights along the route (to keep you honest). There are envelopes in the box to put your money in and to write your answers.

If you plan to walk when the premises are closed you can also use the postal arrangements, below.

"Postal Arrangements"

All other walks rely on a postal arrangement with the Canberra Two Day Walk (CTDW) headquarters in Canberra, as we have been unable to find willing premises to hold the Walk Box.

After completing the walk, the required fees and the answers to the questions are to be forwarded to CTDW, together with the walker's IVV record book(s) and a stamped, addressed envelope. The books will then be stamped and returned by mail. If a number of “postal arrangement” walks are done, then the IVV record books, answers, fees etc, need only be sent after all the walks have been completed.
