I am planning a three week trip to Australia for this January. I have two other guides published by other companies and have found this new Frommer's Guide to be the most useful. It has lots of information and useful tips - while the format makes it easy to find locations. This year, buy this guide!

I may be tempted by the high end suggestions, but it is helping me find the budget options that fit my travel expectations. I'm an over 50 traveler who likes to find value and comfort -- even if you have to pay a bit more for it. I will choose high end accomodations if I can get it at slightly more than a budget option -- but I will choose a budget option if it promises a unique experience. I prefer boutique hotels and B&Bs over international chains and I'll dine anywhere there is...Read more
