I found the guide useful to plan my trip to Eastern Australia, come up with an itinerary, sort out practicalities and generally learn a bit about the country. I obviously did not read about each attraction in detail, but I checked in detail things that interested me, Melbourne, Sydney, GBR, etc.

Too much waffle but I was happy to skip over the bits I wasn’t interested in so a pretty good summary. I enjoyed the history of Australia bit at the end.

I used this book mostly when I was in Cairns. I managed to see everything in the section on the spectacular Atherton Tablelands and they did not disappoint! I stayed at a recommended hostel and it met the glowing reviews Lonely Planet had given it. I also walked the suggested ocean view path between Bondi and Coogee beaches in Sydney (something I would have not done otherwise) and it was excellent! I ventured out away from the book a lot but it was a good place to start!

Was a good help but where I’ll normally find “too” much information in my LPs, I noticed this one missed a lot and was too brief on several areas.
