Summary: Australia Cannot Be Covered in One Book
Comment: When I traveled in Australia I took a number of books and probably this is wise.
I first discovered these books (a series Eyewitness Travel) by accident in a Stockholm bookstore. I had just come from Gothenborg by train and was a bit dazed. The book I bought by accident was in swedish but was still useful because of all the photos, cut away views, museum pictures, and maps and historical details. That is how good these books are!
In general terms I think these are the best books on the market. They are great supplemental sources. The photos and descriptions and cutaway drawings are excellent. Plus they throw in some history with a time line of major historical events and details on the art and many other things of interest. A solid 560 page effort - lots of stuff to see and absorb and this is one of the larger books in the series.
The book has most of the information found in other books or more. But what really differentiates these books from others is the outstanding photography. It is impressive. The book brings the trip to life with just magnificent photos and maps.
What I suggest is this book but make travel reservations on the web plus maybe buy a smaller book or maps of other places and parks of interest. I bought an extra books in the Lonely Planet Series "Australia" and "Outback Australia" from Little Hills Press". These were also good books and considereing the cost of the trip and the 24 hours of flying, a small investment.
Finally when you buy the book it is not 4 to 5 years old. The books are constantly being updated. Highly recommend.

Summary: Eyewitness Guide to Australia
Comment: I purchased this book on the recommendation of our travel agent. It is very disappointing. There is no information about any wildlife parks, such as the Koala Park near Sydney and others. I found much more information on the Internet. The companion book (the map book) may be more helpful - the map part - but it is very large and difficult to refold. I expect books for tourists to have information about areas to tour - and in Australia I think that wildlife parks must be mentioned. It is possible that the Internet will take over for travel books if writers don't provide information that tourists need.

Summary: EXCELLENT
Comment: As a student traveling abroad for the 1st time with a delegation, this book has proved esential. Although I had other travel guides with me, this book was in constant use. The superb maps and pictures of my destination proved themselves as our group didn't get lost once. This guide is packed with information and i recomend it to anyone of any age. After my trip I continue reading this guide for more information, and I hope to go there again soon. 2 enthusiastic thumbs up
