Australia is a country of contrasts--modern cities and vast uninhabited regions--and it's all described in rich and fascinating detail in this newest, up-to-date guide. Included are 35 routes by road and rail, 60 detailed maps and plans, side tracks and scenic routes, recommendations on accommodations, and more. 16 color photos, 90 maps.

Perhaps the best aspect of this book o' maps is that it manages to include lists of suggested trips or extra added bonus details that a regular map would never include. For example, one may completely be oblivious to Amish Country or checking out State Hwy 100 in Vermont (especially in late Sept-early Oct), but lo and behold, this book has a tendency to include little blurbs on these very things. More than once have I added a stop or two, or taken a more scenic alternate route, on a road trip because this atlas has had some positive comment to make on something that I would have otherwise been aware of. That's a rather unexpected reward to glean from a "book of maps".
