Review
"After examining a slew of guidebooks to Australia, this was my clear favorite, the one that's torn and underlined; pages folded back; in other words the one I really used. Unlike so many guides that are just full of facts, this, in the style of other Frommer books, is written in a chatty manner, as if an expert acquaintance is helping you make your plans." (
