The Lonely Planet guide to Australia is the best and most complete I have yet seen. As with any travel guide they miss a lot, but for the areas I know, what they miss probably is not very important to many travelers. There does seem to be a very slight bias toward the college age backpacker traveler, but perhaps most folks my age are on package tours anyway. This one beats Frommer’s hands down.

This is a thorough, well researched, detailed, well written guide to travel in the Northern Territory of Australia. It’s loaded with valuable information, especially for people who want a bit of adventure and who travel with their minds fully engaged. Lonely Planet deserves special accolades for their emphasis on ethics and etiquette for foreign travelers.

Unfortunatly, this is perhaps the only book widely available in the US specifically on Southern Australia, which has many wonderful opportunities for the nature and/or wine loving tourist. This book, however, is sorely outdated and in many instances just wrong. I am speaking specifically about the portions written on Kangaroo Island and the south coast. From my experience thus far it seems likely that the author never even visited these places, but is simply working off of word of mouth and other “primary” sources. I generally swear by Lonely Planet guides, but this one is an exception. I hope Lonley Planet puts out a new edition soon with a new author.

There’s a lot to do in South Australia: so much that it deserves a book of its own separate from just a generic travel guide to the entire country – and Adelaide & South Australia serves just this purpose, allowing the visitor to focus on the region’s many offerings. Excellent small maps accompany clear descriptions of accommodations, eating, sightseeing, and natural wonders. With its information-packed pages, it’s a ‘must’ for any destination-oriented traveler planning a visit to the region; especially for those seeking more depth than the usual Australia-wide coverage can offer.
