Summaries and Customer Reviews provided by Amazon
SummaryAs the name implies, the Eyewitness Travel Guides bring you the world in full living color. In the Australia edition, each information-packed page is splashed with enticing photographs of the people, animals, plants, rock formations, deserts, and ocean vistas that make the country Down Under famous the world over. On the practical side, there are thousands of details to help you find your way to the must-see spots, plus full-color maps and useful at-a-glance tables that make it easy to sort through and locate food and accommodation choices. The introduction offers an overview of Australia's world-heritage sites, aboriginal culture and art, artists and writers, wines, surfing and beach culture, climate, annual events, flora and fauna, landscape, as well as a detailed history section. --Kathryn True |

Eyewitness Australia
Rating:
I love these "Eyewitness" books, and always like to buy them prior to traveling to a new country.

Lots of Info?
Rating:
This book has a great deal of good information for travel in Australia. Unfortunately, as is the case in most travel books. if the area you are interested in is one "less traveled" you may be disappointed in the scanty information supplied. In this case my chosen destination is the Northern Territories, particularly Darwin.
Once again my observation holds true. The descriptions are brief and limited. Not surprising. Not even my Aussie friends have traveled into the area. Wish buying a book would supply the info I seek. It really does require deeper research which on it's own can be fun.
Useless
Rating:
This book tries to say something about every place in the entire country, and in doing so, says nothing about anything. It gave no recommendations of worthwhile sites vs tourist traps, etc. It was a waste of money.

Rating:
For a trip to Australia, this is an excellent guide. It lists all places of interest, hotels and restaurants. discusses money and special events. Photographs are also excellent. I would recommend this
Australia Eyewitness Travel Guides - fantastic overview
Rating:
Eyewithess Travel Guides give the most complete overview of any travel book or other travel product - good organization; great pictures, maps and other graphics; interesting & concise text and descriptions about history, national foods and beverages, etc.; good suggestions for lodging and eating. They are excellet resource and reference books, but they are concise enough to give a relatively complete overview but short enough to quickly convey information, especially if you do not have a lot of free time.
I believe that carefully reading about a desination is important for planning any trip. The Eyewithess Travel Guides are the best way to obtain that overview and prioritize where you want to go. Australia is a large country and this book covers alot of territory. The Australia guide is enormous help to us with our planning.
