"
Each book is a visual as well as informational feast about a particular place."
As the name implies, the Eyewitness Travel Guides bring you the world in full living
colour. In the Australia edition, each information-packed page is splashed with enticing photographs of the people, animals, plants, rock formations, deserts, and ocean vistas that make the country Down Under famous the world over.
On the practical side, there are
thousands of details to help you find your way to the must-see spots, plus full-colour maps and useful at-a-glance tables that make it easy to sort through and locate food and
accommodation choices.
The introduction offers an overview of Australia's world-heritage sites, aboriginal culture and art, artists and writers, wines, surfing and beach culture, climate, annual events, flora
and fauna, landscape, as well as a detailed history section. --Kathryn True
