This guide, like the other LP Australian guides is, as always, excellent. It directs you to the fascinating and friendly city of Melbourne. The way is shown to the beautiful Wilson's Prom and the hidden highlight of Mt Buffalo National Park, one of my favourite parks in all Australia. I have only two small criticisms. Firstly, it could offer a bit more of a warning about how appallingly overrun the Great Ocean Road has become with lunatic drivers. Secondly, it doesn't mention the Great Alpine Road. A truly spectacular road journey that must compare with any other on earth (and almost totally devoid of traffic). Use this guide and discover that Victoria is a real gem, especially when you get away from the coast.

Format:Paperback
The third edition of this guide to Australia's smallest mainland state shows a definite shift towards, if not the high-end traveller, at least the mid-end traveller with expanded listing of lodging and eating establishments to include more expensive options, especially in the section covering Melbourne. The coverage of the rest of the state is as exhaustive as in previous editions. While Lonely Planet refuses (or does not have the staff) to update the printed versions of their guides more than once every two or three years.
The only real criticism I have of this guide is that the author(s) clearly have animus against the current Victorian government. While everyone is entitled to political opinions, they are out of place in a guidebook, particularly in a series which includes guides to such places as Burma.
