About the Author

Ron Crittall was on a long slow loop around the world when he arrived in Perth for a possible two-year stay. 35 years on he knows there’s nowhere better to live. A travel writer for 15 years, he loves traveling round, and writing about, the vast expanse of Western Australia. He is the author of Walking Perth.

Sydney resident Marc Llewellyn is one of Australia’s premier travel writers and the winner of several writing awards. He is the President of the Australian Society of Travel Writers. He’s written two travelogues, Riders to the Midnight Sun, which tells of his journey from the Ukrainian Black Sea to the Russian Arctic on a cheap bicycle. His latest manuscript, with the working title Islands of the Winds, tells the story of a year working as a peasant farmer and shrimp fisherman on an island off Sicily. He is the co-author of the forthcoming first edition of Australia For Dummies.

Lee Mylne is Melbourne based but writes for a range of consumer and travel trade publications around Australia. Born and raised in New Zealand, she has worked in newspapers, magazines, and radio and traveled widely before she started to make a living out of it. She has lived in Australia since 1986 and is a Life Member and past president of the Australian Society of Travel Writers. Her other books include Frommer’s Portable Australia’s Great Barrier Reef and the forthcoming first edition of Australia For Dummies.

5.0 out of 5 stars I am planning a second visit based on descriptions in Frommer's Australia 2008, January 2, 2008
This review is from: Frommer's Australia 2008 (Frommer's Complete Guides) (Paperback)
This well-organized book breaks down places to see in Australia by thier states. The sixteen Best of Australia lists; descriptive reviews of hotels and suggested itineraries; and 'Fun Facts' such as where to cuddle a koala are interesting to note. I am already planning to go back for a second visit because I cannot see it all in two weeks.

4.0 out of 5 stars As always, Frommers delivers - excellent for first-timers, July 16, 2008

This review is from: Frommer's Australia 2008 (Frommer's Complete Guides) (Paperback)
I have been using Frommers for many years. So naturally I chose this book to prepare for our first trip to Australia. It is the only guide book that you will need, though you might want to pick up a free AAA guide after you arrive if you need hotel info as Frommers can't cover every property.

This book will provide basic info on all the major sites. In addition, you will find a great deal of info on smaller towns that you may visit if you decide to do any driving. It was invaluable for providing info on the fly.

If you buy one guidebook, this one should be it.

This book was extremely helpful during my travel to Australia. It was informative and had a great Sydney City Map which we used throughout. I would definitely recommend this book.
