.Tahiti & French Polynesia Guide, 4th Ed.
City Travel Guides > Books > Australia and South Pacific
by: Jan Prince

February 01, 2005
This wonderful book has been highly recommended by my Tahiti specialist Jean-Louis aka Meherio from FlyTahiti.com.
The suggestion to purchase this book was found on Polynesianislands.com Tahiti forum with many similar recommendations from long time Tahiti travelers.
According to our travel agent, this book could almost have been the only thing to pack prior to our trip with the children, great advice and suggestions that helped us to keep within our family budget and maximize the fun. We also loved the restaurant suggestions on Moorea like, Le Bateau restaurant or the children's favorite, the Aito restaurant near the Sheraton.
This book stays on my desk in the office as to keep our promise to return and try the Fare Hamara which ... Read More:

.Maverick Guide to New Zealand: 11th Edition
City Travel Guides > Books > Australia and South Pacific
by: Buckland & Warwick

September 17, 2004
I have travelled before using the "old standards" (Lonely Planet, Let's Go, etc), but I have never been fully statisfied by them. When I stumbled upon this series, I was amazed. They include so much information, it is like a god-send! It was a history lesson, language tutor, and travel guide all in one! Over half of the book was comprised of the history of the island, local slang, and the culture of the Kiwis. The travel section was not lacking by any means. It mentioned places other books did not, and give a through description of the listings, along with local signifigance. It had everything I'd ever dreamed a travel book would have. I'd recommend all the books in this series and I plan to use them exclusively for all my further ... Read More:

.One for the Road: Revised Edition
City Travel Guides > Books > Australia and South Pacific
by: Tony Horwitz

October 05, 1999
The author, an American ex-pat living and working as a newspaper reporter in Australia, gets the wanderlust and decides to hitch around Australia. He circumnavigates the continent, nearly, and travels deep into the Northern Territory and South Australia. (He wisely avoids the utter emptiness of Western Australia.) He meets a variety of Australians: truckies, anti-environmental loggers and tourists, racists, Aborigines in beat-up "utes" (utility vehicles, like pickup trucks), and professional wanderers. He hunkers down in a ditch during a cyclone, wonders at the oddities of Australian cartography ("rivers" and "lakes" are plentiful in name, but dry as dust in reality), and watches as his chauffeurs down dozens of beers ...

.Cold Beer And Crocodiles: A Bicycle Journey Into Australia
City Travel Guides > Books > Australia and South Pacific
by: Roff Smith

September 01, 2000
If I could summarize this book in one sentence, it would be 'Blue Highways in Australia on a Bicycle.' Roff Smith's writing style and general outlook on people and the road is very similar to William Least Heat-Moon's classic novel, Blue Highways, and as such if you liked that book, you'll enjoy this one.

The book is more of a 'describe the interesting people I met and places I visited on my spiritual journey' travelogue book than it is a humor book; in fact, it's rarely funny. If you're looking for something similar to Bryon's In a Sunburned Country, you'll likely be disappointed, and I recommend that book or Tony Horowitz's One for the Road instead.
