4.0 out of 5 stars Travel guide for adventurers and tourists, 10 Sep 2001

By Ales Kavsek - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Adventuring in Australia (Sierra Club Adventure Travel Guides) (Paperback)

Recently I took a trip from Perth to Cairns by rail and this book was my primary source of information that helped me prepare my itinerary. I spent a few days in all major aussie cities on my way to Cairns. This guide helped me in two ways, first it helped me to quickly gather general information about particular place where I took a break and it's surroundings. Second, it helped me to narrow down day trips, sightseeings and walks (which are *plenty* to choose from local tourist kiosks in hotels, YHA...).
One thing that I didn't find in this book was enough tips for budget accomodation - if I didn't by an accident find the official YHA Australia web site I would never know how good this organization is in this country (at least compared with YHA in most part of Europe). So, if you need budget accomodation then certainly checkout YHA web site before booking any 'budget' places mentioned in this book.
Otherwise I can't say anything bad about the book, it does a good job covering all aussie states and I beleieve that the content will satisfy the adventurers as well as tourists.

4.0 out of 5 stars Concerned about lack of info on Southern Tasmania., 22 May 1998

By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Adventuring in Australia # (Paperback)

I saw the book in the hands of one of your US tourists and at the quick look I had, I liked what I could see HOWEVER!!! the information on the area south of Hobart in Tasmania was sadly not only not good, it was in fact not there. As a tourist operator at Cygnet in S Tas I was disappointed - for me and the fact that some of your people would be possibly missing out on one of the nicest corners of our state.

5.0 out of 5 stars Honeymooning in Australia, 1 July 2009

By Joseph Wenzel - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Adventuring in Australia (Sierra Club Adventure Travel Guides) (Paperback)

Modest price, timely received, like-new condition. This honeymoon guide to Australia was gifted to a lovely young lady at her engagement party with the hopes that it will be used on the Grand Bicycle Tour of Australia. Go thou and do likewise.
