Three books appear when you follow the link Amazon.com Australia. These travel guides are Fodor's Australia 2007 (Fodor), DK's Australia Eyewitness Guide (DK Publishing) and Frommer's Australia (Marc Llewellyn and Lee Mylne).
Fodor's book is a 704-page paperback containing a myriad of information about Australia. Fodor takes the reader to some of the most magnificent underwater sites, makes him feel he is cuddling a koala, takes him to Sydney's opera house, let him stare over the rain forest from a private villa, or go board surfing in a beach. Contributing writers also traveled throughout the country to give readers the best deals in hotels, restaurants, attractions, and other amazing activities.
What makes Fodor's book a must for travelers to Australia is that it relied on locals who know the territory like the palm of their hand, making the reader feel like he is seeing Australia for real. There is also a planning guide so visitors can make the right choices.
DK's Eyewitness Guide to Australia should be a great supplement to Fodor's work. It is a decent travel guide, taking readers to places through vivid, spectacular pictures. This edition that runs over 600 pages is spiced up by striking photographs. It has an introductory section that offers an overview of Australia's world heritage locations, aboriginal arts and culture, writers and artists, surfing, wines, beach culture, annual events, climate, landscape, fauna and flora, as well as a detailed history section. It features eight more sections, with one section solely dedicated to Sydney.
Travelers can also benefit from the book's section that caters to traveler's needs like accommodation, restaurants and shopping information. It has a special section titled "Survival Guide" that is useful to travelers while they are sightseeing in Australia.
Frommer's Australia 2007 is not just another guidebook. This 689-page work shows Australia from its remarkable diversity. The authors also give outspoken advice on what's worth the time and what is not. Uniquely, the book gives exact prices of goods so visitors can plan their trip without minding their budget.
The book also takes the more intrepid and adventuresome visitors to new and exotic places and a current review of top attractions.
The guide is a collaborative effort from two top travel authors from down under. Llewellyn was Australia's Travel Writer of Year for 2001/2002. Mylne, born in New Zealand but now resides in Australia, has written extensive about his travel for newspapers, magazines and radio.
