4.0 out of 5 stars best choice out there!, 5 Mar 2004
By C. Beans (Spain) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Tasmania (Lonely Planet Regional Guides) (Paperback)
If you're just going to Tassie, this is the best book you could take along with you! No need to lug around the big, heavy Australia edition of LP... Tassie deserves a trip of its own... several weeks at least!
This guide book gives lots of insightful data on places to visit and stay, not so well known activities (bushwalking trails, spots for scuba-diving...) as well as the more touristic stuff.
Reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that it needs to be updated a bit: some e-mail/web pages need updating, as do most of the prices. In Feb 2004 hotel/hostel prices were quite a bit higher than those mentioned in the book. Also, would be nice a little more about the flora and fauna...
But a definite must if you're visiting Tasmania!

4.0 out of 5 stars Useful Guide To A Beautiful Place, 20 April 2007
The Lonely Planet city guide to "Tasmania" is a very useful travel guide authored by Carolyn Bain, Gina Tsarouhas, and Paul Smitz. With 19 national parks which cover over a third of the territory, it will come as no surprise that a good portion of this guide is focused on outdoor activities. However, if you are headed to Tasmania for other reasons, as I am, there is still plenty of good information about sites to see, places to go, things to do, and places to eat. This review is based on the 4th edition of this particular travel guide, which was published in October of 2005.

The book opens with several sections about the state as a whole. There are sections on the history, culture, environment, the outdoors, national parks, and food & drink. It then follows with 12 more specific sections covering the major cities and different regional areas of the island, including a small section covering the Bass Strait Islands. The book then has a very useful section titled "Directory", which covers a large assortment of odds and ends which are useful for a traveler, such as business hours, climate, customs, embassies, festivals and events, holidays, insurance, money, and so on. There are then two more sections which cover transportation and health. The book then closes with a glossary, some information about the Lonely Planet books, a section for some notes, and an index.

I am fortunate enough to have friends there, so the main thing I used the guide for was to look at the descriptions of things to do, and to see what looks interesting. That blended well with my friends' suggestions, and I think it will prove to be useful to me in my trip. In particular, the "Directory" section is good to go through, as it can often serve as a checklist for things to think about and to take care of while you are planning your trip.
