  This guide is tailor-made for visitors wanting to experience the best that Australia has to offer in a limited time period. Written with the first-time visitor in mind by an author who has an intimate knowledge of the country, this travel guide recommends only the really worthwhile sights and places of interest to visit; and suggests enjoyable excursions from major centres and the best ways to travel around. A short introduction profiles Australia's history, people, places and wildlife, government and economy. This is followed by descriptions of what to see and do in the popular tourist regions: the city of Sydney, with its world famous landmarks, the Opera House, Harbour Bridge and Bondi Beach; the tropical Daintree rainforest in north Queensland; Kakadu, the country's largest national park; the monolith Ayers Rock; the cooler Hobart, capital of Tasmania; and all the state capitals, including Canberra, the national capital. The text is packed with travel tips, useful information panels and colour photographs, maps and climate charts which will enable visitors to make the most of the time available.
