 Rating:  - Strangely AnnoyedI have lots of guidebooks - and lots of Lonely Planets, for that matter.

Read More Rating: - Great book for big citiesOn my recent trip to Australia, I only visited the typical big American tourist spots: Sydney, Melbourne and Cairns (Great Barrier Reef). This book had great information about where to stay, what to do, and great places to eat. LP Australia provides lots of background and history for each city as well as information about what's been going on. It's almost like having your own personal tour guide. (Of course, when I was there this last December, they were having race riots at the beaches - so I avoided ... Read More
