Explore the richest underwater kingdom on earth, cuddle with a koala, sail past the world's most photographed opera house, gaze over the rain forest from a private balcony, break in your board shorts at a legendary beach, or see towering rock formations carved by the ocean—Fodor's Australia 2008 offers all these experiences and more! Our local writers have traveled throughout the country to find the best hotels, restaurants, attractions and activities to prepare you for a journey of stunning variety. Before you leave for your trip be sure to pack your Fodor's guide to ensure you don't miss a thing.

The San Francisco Chronicle sums it up best — "Fodor's guides are saturated with information."

- We update our Australia guide every year. You won't find a more accurate, current guidebook anywhere.
- Unlike other travel books, Fodor's guides rely heavily on local experts who know the territory best—so you know you're seeing the real Australia.
- We give you the planning tools you need to tailor your trip. We give options for all budgets. You make the choices.
