Jim's Guide to Australia is...

JIM'S MOST COMPREHENSIVE AND DETAILED GUIDE - not just to cities and beaches, but also to the beauty of the outback which makes Australia such a unique and fascinating destination. It contains all you need to know to travel Jim's suggested way - using the rail pass system throughout both rail and bus networks, and to stay Jim's suggested way - using the pubs as a more comfortable and cheap alternative to traditional hostels. But, in an attempt to be Australia's ultimate guide, it also provides almost everything imaginable to do it your own - or any other - way.

This is the biggest of Jim's guidebooks - hundreds of pages, bursting at the seams with hardly a centimetre wasted, all printed on bible-weight paper that drives the printer mad. Mind-bogglingly detailed information about places, people and their histories, sights and atmosphere. Vast numbers of maps and tables showing where to stay, eat, and find the right bus stop. All you need to know to avoid missing experiences or getting up at dawn to catch trains that don't exist. This is the book for the obsessive traveller, extreme shoestringer, people who are actually going there, and are going to get their money's worth. For sheer quantity of information, reliability and quality, we don't think anything can compete. Give it a try and let us know what you think!
