Insight into Australia

Because Australia is so big.. and there is just so much to see no single book can possibly cover the whole country. That's why lonely planet has published so many titles pertaining to this country.I think the intention of this book is to give insight into what is available where... then select the relevant lonely planet guide for the area that most interests you.A lot of people don't know what is where in Aus, as an outline to learn... I think this book serves anyone very very well.It's much cheaper to buy this book.. and choose where you want to find out more about... than buying the complete series of lonely planet guides in the Australia range.

An Essential Purchase If You Want To Travel To Australia.

This book has the sort of nitty-gritty information any would-be tourist or Working - Holiday Visa explorer of Australia will find essential. Whether you want to know if you can get it in a Cairns nightclub ( apparently if you can't get it there there's no hope for you!), which pub to unwind in after a beach-barby, or which bus to take to get to the nearest backpacker's accomodation, you'll find it in here more easily than asking an ozzie local. Which, by the way, should you need to, won't be a problem with the amusing but practical run down on dodgy expressions like 'cobber' and 'stubbie'. Howver, it is more than just a practical run down on entertainment, accomodation and travel. There are accessible potted-guides to history, geography, culture and politics. In addition there are full-colour sections on flora and fauna, and a wonderful aborginal art run-down. And if you get bored, every few pages you'll find a quick 'boxed-aside', telling you concisely everything you need to know, from the Sydney Olympics, to snakes, to buying a car in Australia. Buy it and go there!
