This review is from: Lonely Planet Victoria (Lonely Planet Victoria, 3rd ed) (Paperback)

The third edition of this guide to Australia's smallest mainland state shows a definite shift towards, if not the high-end traveller, at least the mid-end traveller with expanded listing of lodging and eating establishments to include more expensive options, especially in the section covering Melbourne. The coverage of the rest of the state is as exhaustive as in previous editions. While Lonely Planet refuses (or does not have the staff) to update the printed versions of their guides more than once every two or three years.

The only real criticism I have of this guide is that the author(s) clearly have animus against the current Victorian government. While everyone is entitled to political opinions, they are out of place in a guidebook, particularly in a series which includes guides to such places as Burma.
