This review is from: Frommer's Australia 2009 (Frommer's Complete Guides) (Paperback)
Frommer's guides have been around for decades, and I grew up with their $-a-day books when traveling with my family in my teens. I can remember sitting around hotel rooms, with various family members reading entries out loud, because they were so well written. Of course, back then, Arthur Frommer was still writing the books. But while not all the writers today possess Frommer's style, they still possess his level of reliability and his passion for travel.

When I left the corporate world and headed for Australia to start my career over, it was the Frommer's guide that went with me. Of course, it has only been since "Crocodile Dundee"that book stores have started stocking more than one title on Australia, so I would have had to go to a specialty shop or ordered from a travel company to find something other than Frommer's for Australia, that first time.

than previous reviewers. I find Frommers Australia rather sketchy, missing important resources in places I know. Not trustworthy at all for the Darwin area, and lacks depth for Sydney. Lonely Planet is a better choice IF it is up to date. Unfortunately I will have to add to the Frommers another book or two to feel I have good coverage of lodgings and other resources. I would pass on this one.

This review is from: Frommer's Australia 2009 (Frommer's Complete Guides) (Paperback)
This book gave some great ideas for thing to do. I traveled to several cities along the east coast and many of the things I did came from this book. The only reason I didn't give it five stars is some of the prices were outdated and one of the restaurants didn't exist. Overall it was a great book and will use it again next time I go to Australia.
