Eyewitness always does a great job. Nice reference, but too big and heavy to carry on the trip.
This book provides suggestions on restaurants, accommodations, shopping and entertainment, and includes maps, pictures and illustrations listing important sights to see. I highly recommend this book as a 'must-have' for anyone planning a trip to Australia. I'm planning a trip to Australia in Spring and wanted to learn as much as I could before I go. It also has a section entitled "Practical Information" which contains useful information on banking & currency, personal security & health, and Australian telephone & postal systems.
WE did not get the book on the time, it was sent to us very late. We need to return the book.
I love these "Eyewitness" books, and always like to buy them prior to traveling to a new country.Mary
Unfortunately, as is the case in most travel books. In this case my chosen destination is the Northern Territories, particularly Darwin.Once again my observation holds true.
It really does require deeper research which on it's own can be fun. Not surprising.
The descriptions are brief and limited. Wish buying a book would supply the info I seek.
This book has a great deal of good information for travel in Australia. if the area you are interested in is one "less traveled" you may be disappointed in the scanty information supplied.
Not even my Aussie friends have traveled into the area.
