i just recently took a 9 month trip to australia and this guide definately turned out to be my bible. i liked the layout of the book and would choose lets go over lonely planet in a heartbeat. i found lets go has more maps with better detail. in my opinion it fits the same amount of info in a lighter and more flexible binding book.

This was my 2nd time using Let's Go guides, my 1st being Let's Go Japan. I prefer them to the Lonely Planet guidebooks in general. They seem to have a less intoxicated following. As with my NZ review, I wish that the authors would've stressed the quarantine & customs issues regarding everything including food.

I am planning on backpacking for an extended amount of time in Australia. This guide is invaluable in planning my trip. I love the series - it is perfect for a budget traveller like me. I don't know yet how accurate the info is, as I have yet to go, but the book itself is well written and organized.
