One of the flagships of the Footprint list, this second edition of 'Footprint Australia' features the new 2-colour format throughout, with bolder headings and new ultra-clear typeface, while still including a full-colour intro section and multi-page atlas.
Thorough coverage of the whole country and over 100 maps have been put together by just two author teams, ensuring balanced opinions and comment. This isn't just NSW/QLD with a round-up of the 'best of the rest' - as in so many other Australian guides. Key features include distance to next/major towns in the town/sight notes and careful advice on road and environment conditions - essential for travellers seeing Australia in their own vehicle. Sights and activities are covered in depth and sleeping/eating options cover the full available range of budgets and styles - from boutique b&bs to bushcamps. Each state features a `highlights' map and the pick of where to stay, and supporting 'Essential' and 'Background' information has been carefully selected and written to accommodate the requirements of every type and interest of traveller.
