Discover Australia by 4Wd

Rating:
Summary: Informative
Review: Australia is a large continent, and to provide a resource book that adequately covers all that could be possibly be seen or done by 4WD would require a far more voluminous tome.

Discover Australia By 4WD attempts to provide the best of the rest and in my opinion does so admirably.

Anyone who owns and frequently tours in their 4WD will find this book a must. It provides plenty of useful information, tips and genuine and up to date advice, which I find should be compulsory for such a book. There are lots of relevant photographs, and the maps are as up to date as you can get.

Lots of links to almost everything you could want, such as tourist bureaus, information centres and the like as well as useful advice on road conditions, weather conditions, camping sites, and so on.

I was, however, a little disappointed at the lack of information on Western Australia, which is the largest state, and yet rated very little by way of 4WD trips through the north west of that state, which is one of the better regions in W.A.

Otherwise, I would heartily recommend this book to all Australian 4WD enthusiasts and international travellers alike.
