THE ROUGH GUIDE TO AUSTRALIA (6TH ED.)

"The Rough Guide to Australia" is the definitive handbook to this vast and varied continent, covering every town, national park, rainforest, marine park, desert and island from Broome to Ballarat and Carnarvon to Cairns. A 24pp full colour introduction includes ''48 Things Not To Miss'', a selection of brilliant photography showing the country''s highlights, from diving the Great Barrier Reef to hot-air ballooning over Uluru. In-depth and entertaining coverage is given to all the attractions, both the world famous sights and the lesser known local''s favourites. There are refreshingly opinionated reviews of the best places to stay, eat and drink, to suit all pockets from student-loans to expense accounts. "The Rough Guide" is also particularly renowned for its informed background on history, film, Aboriginal culture, and Australia''s unique flora and fauna. Finally there are over 100 maps and plans for every region and town, all showing the location of recommended accommodation, bars and restaurants.
