2.0 out of 5 stars Buy another book April 10, 2012
By Anna
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
We only used this book for Cairns and Sydney but judging by these two sections, this book is not worth it. The content is poorly organized, the maps are hard to use, and in general it seems that the authors don't like the country. We loved the country and wish we would have gotten a different travel book.

1.0 out of 5 stars Kindle version pretty much useless November 18, 2012
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Since there's no decent Table Of Contents, I thought I'd be able to find information using Search, but I was wrong.
Did a search on Alice Springs and it returned only one entry about a town called Mt Isa. Did a search on Uluru Kata, Ayers Rock and it returned nothing. I don't know if the search engine is broken or if ] the printed version doesn't have info on those places. Anyway, they should be there.
Did a search on Brisbane, which returned a 100 entries, but the first several entries were for Brisbane St located in another city.
USELESS!

I've always used the lonely planet books as travel guides. They're thorough and honestly written. I really wouldn't travel anywhere without them. Well done guys!

1.0 out of 5 stars Not worth it
This book has no logic at all. Maps pop up from nowhere. No clear chapter. If you are looking for short trip then don't buy it at all. You'll just need a few pages. Read more

It is hard to find the section you are after. There is no table of contents or any other way to flip to a section of the book. The links do not all work. Read more
