Australie

This is the eighth edition of Lonely Planet's "Australia", published as part of their "Travel Survival Kit" series. It covers the whole country from the top end to the tip of Tasmania, including Sydney and Melbourne, the Red Centre, Queensland rainforests and miles of beaches. The guide contains information needed for a visit on any budget: getting there and getting around (by bus, train, plane or four-wheel drive); history and culture; accommodation; local cuisine; places and times to visit; prices to pay; flora and fauna; language tips; health and safety advice; and maps. It includes a full-colour introduction to Aboriginal art and an extensive colour section on Australian flora and fauna. Notes on bush tucker, pub grub and modern cuisine are included, as are listings for surfing, white-water rafting, bushwalking and cycling. This book also contains a guide to Australian vernacular.
