Publisher's Synopsis
Why purchase an Australia Travel Guide Book when the information can be looked up on the internet? Because this book: *Provides time guidelines for each tourist site and each city/region (excluding Western Australia) *Identifies the "best" animal viewing locations, sites or museums that are unique to Australia - and makes suggestions on what locations may be eliminated due to time constraints *Contains transportation information - the cities to drive in, the cities to take mass transportation (and how to do that), plus how best to travel between cities *Upon assimilation of the information presented, and adding where necessary further internet research, readers can effectively plan a self-tour of Australia. This book also presents the detailed itinerary - including hotels, car rentals and airline flights - from the Author's and her husband's 2 1/2 month tour of Australia, excluding Western Australia. There are other Australian Travel Guides published by well known travel series that have prettier pictures & maps (all of which can be found on the internet at no cost). My guide presents the experience of real people traveling on their own without a corporate budget. While this book lists all of the important sites available in the country (except Western Australia), this book puts into perspective how those sites match up against each other based on our first-hand experience, and so identifies the best or must-see sites of this beautiful country.
