About the Author

Lee Atkinson (chapters 1, 11, and 14) is a freelance travel writer and guide book author based in Australia. Her travel stories regularly appear in the travel sections of various newspapers and glossy travel magazines in both Australia and internationally. She is the author of eight travel books, including Frommer’s Sydney Day by Day, Frommer’s Sydney Free & Dirt Cheap, Frommer’s Tasmania Day by Day, and Frommer’s Bali Day by Day.

Ron Crittall (chapters 1, 3, and 12) was on a long slow loop around the world when he arrived in Perth for a possible 2–year stay. Forty years on, he knows there’s no place better to live. A travel writer for 20 years, he loves traveling round, and writing about, the vast expanse of Western Australia. He is the author of Walking Perth.

Sydney resident Marc Llewellyn (chapters 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5) is one of Australia’s premier travel writers and the winner of several writing awards. He is a past president of the Australian Society of Travel Writers. He’s written two travelogues, Riders to the Midnight Sun, which tells of his journey from the Ukrainian Black Sea to the Russian Arctic on a cheap bicycle, and Finding Nino, which recounts his year working as a peasant farmer and shrimp fisherman on an island off Sicily. He is also the coauthor of Australia For Dummies.

Lee Mylne (chapters 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 9, 12, 13, 15, and 16) is Melbournebased but writes for a range of consumer and travel trade publications around Australia. Born and raised in New Zealand, she has worked in newspapers, magazines, and radio and traveled widely before she started to make a living out of it. She has lived in Australia since 1986 and is a life member and past president of the Australian Society of Travel Writers. Her other books include Frommer’s Melbourne Day by Day, Frommer’s Portable Australia’s Great Barrier Reef, and Australia For Dummies.

4.0 out of 5 stars Reassuringly comprehensive 16 Jun 2012
By maximus TOP 500 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:Paperback|Amazon Vine™ Review (What's this?)
This book really does cover pretty much everything you need to know if you are planning a tour of Australia and you are going on holiday as opposed to a long sabbatical ... I say this because clearly for such a vast country with such variety of attractions and things to discover (natural and man made) it would be difficult to produce a concise book that also has depth of coverage as well as breadth. But for most people travelling to Australia there does need to be breadth in a guidem as they might want try and visit as much as they can in one trip because their opportunities of return visits may be limited. I am a fan of Lonely Planet and the Rough Guides series, but as I get older I do like to have guide books that provide not so much the irreverent or perhaps "backpacker" style of guiding, and more the comfortable but nonetheless truthful style of guides, and for the last 3 or 4 or holidays that I've been on, I have found myself preferring the Frommer's series. I find the information in this new book very useful, well classified and illustrated and useful maps included in appropriate places. I do like that it does try to cover as much as possible, and looking forward to using it on the go on my next trip. I have been fortunate in that I have visited Australia twice before, each time a different corner, the next trip will be a once in a lifetime countrywide tour and I will look forward to have this new guide by my side at all time. The only reason I give it 4 stars instead of 5 is that a big guide such as this one needs fairly strong binding and cover even if in paperback form, and I fear repeated use, I might end up with the guide looking somewhat worse for wear.

5.0 out of 5 stars Big, beautiful book 10 Oct 2012
By Nick Flynn TOP 500 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:Paperback|Amazon Vine™ Review (What's this?)
I like Frommer's guides, having traveled a fair bit, and have read most of the available guide books for a particular area, I tend to keep coming back to Frommer's.

Australia is a big country, and Frommer's Australia is a fairly weighty tome ... and as such, I tend to read up and note down areas of interest and leave the guide behind when I actually travel ... this could always be put right if you could get an e book version ... you can't at the moment, but hopefully the advent of the new colour versions of Kindle et al will change that.

The book is beautifully laid out, and has a good balance between city and small town Australia and bush. The photos are terrific, and although I have been to Australia twice, and have driven about 5,000km ... I have only really scratched the surface.

Of the places I have been, Sydney, Brisbane, along the Queensland coast, Canberra and NSW, Melbourne and the Great Ocean Rd, and Perth/Margaret River ... the guide is spot on, I have stayed in some of the hotels and Guest Houses listed, and seen some of the sights, and find Frommer's to be pretty accurate. (that comes from using local authors I'm sure).

A guide book should be entertaining, inviting, colourful, accurate and honest. From what I have read so far ... that perfectly describes Frommer's Australia ... too weighty to take I find, but great for research.

PS ... Once you get there, the Tourist Offices in Australia are great.

4.0 out of 5 stars Useful Travel Aid 20 July 2012
By Sam D
Format:Paperback|Amazon Vine™ Review (What's this?)
This book is jam-packed full of pearls of wisdom on Australia. Cities and towns are highlighted with suggested itineraries, walking tours, activities, as well as information on shopping, eating, drinking, and sleeping. But Frommer's knows that plenty of visitors to Australia don't come all this way just to spend time in the cities. They want to experience the great outdoors, something that of course Australia has in great abundance. And so this guidebook offers plenty of advice and information on the where, how, and when of having a totally unique Aussie experience.

Anyone considering a trip to Australia should pick up a copy of this guidebook. It will lead you in the right direction and be an invaluable accompaniment on your travels. As someone who's planning to be in Australia within the next couple of months, it's definitely got me wanting to pack my bags and hit the road.

4.0 out of 5 stars For the outdoorsy person
If you enjoy the great outdoors then Australia has a lot to offer you. For the rest, you'll want to be sticking to the center of the major cities. Read more
