The Utlimate Guide to Australia Itineraries: How to create the perfect travel Itinerary in Australia Reviews
-
If you are considering doing independent travel in Australia this guide is a tremendous assist. Lots of nuts and bolts information with links to other resources. Michela gives you suggested time frames for each stop on itineraries and gives you the highpoints you shouldn’t miss while you are there. The really fun part of her book is that she will provide you with a pdf with live links to the resources in the book upon request. Fun, easy reading and informative.
Lost Angel Walkabout: One Traveler's Tales -
I absolutely love this book! Warning - it will absolutely whet your appetite to visit Australia.
Several itineraries are presented inside, with options for shortening/lengthening the trip, swapping out legs, and approximate total costs in AUD. Fantinel summarizes each itinerary with what will be covered, and who it is geared toward - i.e. if you're a food/wine lover, nature lover, etc. Much of the content is geared toward solo travel, though Fantinel is quick to note when having a companion would be helpful.
The book doesn't go into the history of each area (like a RIck Steves guidebook would), but I actually appreciated that fact. It was nice to just have the facts presented, along with what stands out about each area (i.e. one site being one of the largest seal residences).
Fantinel is quick to note which itineraries are best for newbie travelers to Australia, and also shares a lot of link love - to her own and others' blog posts, tourist information sites, and more.
She has a very approachable writing voice, and I'm excited to see what else is in the pipeline for her to publish.
This book is a quick read, and one that will be invaluable as I dream about making my first trip to Australia a reality.
