There are, of course, other representative efforts but this list is restricted to the normally accepted major competitions.

Note that profiles of all these walkers can be found in the book 'Once Were Walkers' that was published in 2006 and was republished (as a second edition) in 2017. It can still be ordered as per the following link:  Once Were Walkers

You can read profiles of these and other Victorian walkers by following the link http://www.vrwc.org.au/tim-archive/wv.shtml
