Frommer's Australia from $60 a Day [Travel Guide] (Wiley 2006.14.ed).pdf

Australia

from $60 a Day

14th Edition

by Marc Llewellyn & Lee Mylne

Here’s what the critics say about Frommer’s:

“A major publishing challenge for any travel guide is keeping it up to date, and when

travelers pick up one on a destination as big as Australia, they want to know that what

the writers are giving them is accurate . . . Australian-based writers, including Brisbane-

based Lee Mylne, are on the ball.”

—Courier Mail

“Detailed, accurate, and easy-to-read information for all price ranges.”

—Glamour Magazine

“Hotel information is close to encyclopedic.”

—Des Moines Sunday Register

“Frommer’s Guides have a way of giving you a real feel for a place.”

—Knight Ridder Newspapers
