Lonely Planet Guide Books

As a traveller a guide book is essential to finding the ins and outs of the place that you are visiting.  Lonely Planet Guide books have all that information and more.  They cover Hostel and Hotels reviews , things to see and do, getting in and out and more, specifically targeted to the budget conscious traveller.

Lonely Planet also have launched a new look website with heaps more destination information Guides, Maps & More. The great thing about the new site is that they not only offer more travel advice and information for free but also secure direct purchase of their books. I know that this is starting to sound like I am going to offer a free set of steak knives but I’m not. I just recon the books that these guy put out caters the best for backpackers, flashpackers and gappackers or anyone else who travel on a travel budget.

My next point is that if you don’t have the coin to splash out on the full book and lets face it who is going to visit all of the places covered in the book? But now you can just purchase the relevant sections from any book.  What a great way to save on packing space? You just download the relevant sections in PDF format and there is no waiting time for stuff to be sent to you.  Of course the only disadvantage is that you have to print it out, but who cares!

Of course there are other travel guides but if you are coming to Australia particularly the Lonely Planet Australia travel guide wont let you down. We rate them top notch.
