Aaarrgghh! Lost my review!

It was pretty brief though.

Full of helpful information & well set out, this book is too unwieldy to take with us when we visit The Land of Oz next month. I only read the introduction & NSW section.

this is a Very interesting and useful guide a little less well known than others. Advantages: tips and places to visit that are a bit different from the mega-frequented places.

This was a really nice companion on our trip. It had all the information we were looking for and some nice maps. It has also been helpful as we plan our next trip to Oz ;)

Taking it to Oz with us...I figure I can read most of it on the 14 hour flight there!!!

Just what I needed during my trip, lots of recommendations, lots of detail and covered every area I went to, and also discovered new places I wouldn't have known about otherwise.

Used it for our 6 month trip around OZ.

Great tips, lots of information -- I found it to be superior to the Lonely Planet guides.

This is the best Australian guidebook that I read in planning an upcoming trip back to a place I loved, but haven't been to for 35 years.

Good overview of accommodation, activities, and accessibility of places to visit in Australia.
