[Linda · Rating 4 out of 5]

Helpful information for our upcoming Around the World Cruise; however, I wish the major travel books provided more information for cruisers (such as info for the ports and docking and transportation into town, which would be especially helpful for the more independent traveler who dislikes seeing places from the window of a big bus .) Fortunately, with some searching, the Internet usually provides that, but it's a glaring omission in travel books to provide information for all other types of arrivals BUT cruise ships.

With 7,000 beaches, and numerous travel deals, Australia is a burgeoning destination for American travelers. A great resource.

This was a decent travel book. Good section on Sydney.

[Rosebud · Rating 3 out of 5]

Read this book mostly because we are going to Sydney in March. I think I've read too many guide books lately--they are getting a little stale. Ha!
