Lonely Planet: On a Shoestring
Australia & New Zealand On a Shoestring
Australia and New Zealand are both on the well-trodden backpacker's path, and many young, long-haul travelers go straight from one to the other. Tourism numbers to both countries reflect annual increases (WTO). This is the only guidebook covering Australia and New Zealand together. It is written by an experienced team of local authors and specialist contributors and includes all the practical information needed for big trips on small budgets; a new Highlights section for quick itinerary planning and comprehensive coverage of the best budget buys in transport, accommodation, food and entertainment. Lonely Planet's 25 years of publishing expertise in Australia and New Zealand is unmatched by any competitor.

A beat-up old car, a few dollars in the pocket and a sense of adventure. In 1972 that’s all Tony and Maureen Wheeler needed for the trip of a lifetime – across Europe and Asia overland to Australia. It took several months, and at the end – broke but inspired – they sat at their kitchen table writing and stapling together their first travel guide, Across Asia on the Cheap. Within a week they’d sold 1500 copies and Lonely Planet was born. One hundred million guidebooks later, Lonely Planet is the world’s leading travel guide publisher with content to almost every destination on the planet.
