About the author

OUR STORY
A beat-up old car, a few dollars in the pocket and a sense of adventure. In 1972 that’s all Tony and Maureen Wheeler needed for the trip of a lifetime – across Europe and Asia overland to Australia. It took several months, and at the end – broke but inspired – they sat at their kitchen table writing and stapling together their first travel guide, Across Asia on the Cheap. Within a week they’d sold 1500 copies and Lonely Planet was born. One hundred million guidebooks later, Lonely Planet is the world’s leading travel guide publisher with content to almost every destination on the planet.

Great read for planning our road trip from Melbourne to Sydney!

Pretty comprehensive for one city. It does suffer from outdated info, but you should always double check your plans. I liked the neighboourhood walk maps. A couple more example itineraries would be great. There's only a 4 day one in the beginning of the book (which you could break up), but a "best of" 2-day and 7-day with day trips one would be awesome.

The best lonely planet guide I've ever read. Exact, concise, with great tips for food and nightlife in a city that is as expensive as NYC. Highly recommend this guide if you're going to Sydney!!
