Best That I Know Of (for Australian trains),
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Australia by Rail, 5th (Paperback)
Absolutely Terrific! Used it extensively whilst traveling some 28,000 kilometers via rail througout Australia (three month railpass). Probably worth it's weight in gold. Priceless. What a Godsend.
