Frommer's Australia 2008

Ron Crittall was on a long slow loop around the world when he arrived in Perth for a possible two-year stay. 35 years on he knows there's nowhere better to live. A travel writer for 15 years, he loves traveling round, and writing about, the vast expanse of Western Australia. He is the author of Walking Perth.

Sydney resident Marc Llewellyn is one of Australia's premier travel writers and the winner of several writing awards. He is the President of the Australian Society of Travel Writers. He's written two travelogues, Riders to the Midnight Sun, which tells of his journey from the Ukrainian Black Sea to the Russian Arctic on a cheap bicycle. His latest manuscript, with the working title Islands of the Winds, tells the story of a year working as a peasant farmer and shrimp fisherman on an island off Sicily. He is the co-author of the forthcoming first edition of Australia For Dummies.
