SeaBands Posted January 6, 2014 #3 Share Posted January 6, 2014 and it was very helpful. We have loaned it many times to friends and they agreed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Vict0riann Posted January 6, 2014 #4 Share Posted January 6, 2014 We bought DK Eyewitness Travel Australia and were satisfied. Same here - we really like the DK Eyewitness guidebooks - but as soon as you arrive, you must buy a bird book so you can check off all the amazing birds you see!

Smart 4-2 Posted January 6, 2014 #5 Share Posted January 6, 2014 DK Eyewitness was our favorite, but we used Fodor, too. We wrote to the various Australian State tourist offices and requested travel literature (in most cased applied online). Local tourist info sites were also very helpful.

highland cruiser Posted January 6, 2014 #6 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Agree with the previous post. If you want a fun read before you go I would recommend Bill Byrson's In a Sunburned Country. Quite a different insight into Australia. Have a great cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sahara1 Posted January 6, 2014 #7 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Just back from the 34 Au cruise followed by 28 days in the islands and NZ.Had a great time and I am sure you will too. You won't believe the high prices of ship tours in Au. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
