Publisher's Synopsis
An exhilarating mix of timeless scenery and modern civilisation, Australia is not a place for sitting back and letting things happen. Just inland from the sparkling cities clinging to the coast, you will discover a vast expanse of uninhabited land which starts as soon as you leave Sydney and ends 4000 km (2500 miles) later when you arrive in Perth. From tropical rainforest to snow-capped mountains, from coral reef to Alice Springs and the "Red Centre", this guide will persuade you that you've left the ordinary world far behind. Features: History; Culture; Museums; Monuments; Shopping; Sports; Dining Out; Practical Information; City Maps; Fold-Out Map.
