I have to say, as travel guides go, this one is pretty dry. There's a lot of facts in this book, but most of it is listings/information, totally fact, and I can get that elsewhere on the Internet in a more easily searched way. When I buy a travel guide it is for recommendations/opinions, and all I can say is, they're a small part of the 1109 pages. This book certainly did not make me want to jump on a plane to Australia.

The guide book is great. Lots of information to help in the planning of our trip.

It was a hit with my sister, who is headed to Australia for study abroad.

It is interesting reading and using for reference.

A really complete TRAVEL GUIDE...

Very useful and complete info.

Great travel guide!!!

Just what we needed.
