Synopsis

You′ll never fall into the tourist traps when you travel with Frommer′s. It′s like having a friend show you around, taking you to the places locals like best. Our expert authors have already gone everywhere you might go they′ve done the legwork for you, and they′re not afraid to tell it like it is, saving you time and money.

Completely updated every year (unlike most of the competition), Frommer′s Australia features gorgeous color photos of the spectacular scenery and amazing wildlife that await you Down Under. This extraordinary and opinionated guide is personally researched by a pair of lifelong residents, who′ll show you how to discover the real Australia. We′ll start off in Sydney, then head off to the Great Barrier Reef, where you′ll find complete details on the world′s most beautiful beaches, magnificent snorkeling and scuba diving, and other eco–adventures. From the urban pleasures of Melbourne to the rustic, untamed Outback, Frommer′s Australia covers it all, with all the advice you need to make the most of your time and money. Whether you want to stay in mom–and–pop motels, wildnerness lodges, elegant B&Bs, or luxury beach resorts, this guide will help you design the Australian adventure that′s right for you.
