AUTHOR THANKS
Charles-Rawlings WayHuge thanks to Maryanne for the gig, and to our highway-addled coauthors, who covered a helluva lot of kilometres in search of the per-fect review. Thanks also to the all-star inhouse LP production staff, and in Brisbane thanks to Christian, Lauren, Rachel, Brett and all the kids. Special thanks as always to Meg, my road-trippin’ sweetheart, and our daughters Ione and Remy who provided countless laughs, unscheduled pitstops and ground-level per-spectives along the way.
Meg WorbyThank you Maryanne, for the gig! Big ups to the in-house team at LP for turning our many weeks of exploration into a useful thing you can hold in your hand. In Brisbane: huge thanks to Lauren, Christian, Orlando, Ilaria and friends for great company and insider tips. To our little daughters, Ione and Remy, it was the smoothest trip yet – nice work pulling your own suitcases! Love, as ever, to Charles – away and at home, you make hard work seem easy.
Brett AtkinsonThanks to the keen and professional staff at WA’s visitor centres who smoothed the way for information gathering, allowing me to focus on

Finally, thanks to Meg, Charles and Maryanne for getting this whole show on the road.

Thanks Miles for reminding me how cool koalas and penguins are! Dave Carswell, James Smith and Matt Holden, kudos for sharing your Melbourne with me, and all the wonderful folk who made travelling a joy.

lers. Thanks to Ron and Jan for their infinite hospitality and patience. And to Marina, Carlota and Valentina – home is wherever you are.
Paul HardingThanks to those who put me up or helped with tips and advice. Brian, Kerry, Martyn and Braidyn in Swan Hill; Matt, Simone, Xavier and Remy in Yack; Chad, Kylie, Amy, Parker Will; Phil, Ashleigh and Dan in central Vic; mum and dad in Castlemaine. Thanks to co-author Jayne. But mostly to my occasional travel partners, Hannah and Layla.
Shawn LowThanks always to the crew at LP. Maryanne for opening the door and Charles and Meg for illuminating the path through it. Of course, thanks to the production staff, the heart of everything LP! Cheers to innumerable travellers I met on the road: your tips, com-pany and advice were much appreciated.

THIS BOOKLonely Planet’s guide to Australia was first published in 1977, when the company’s cofounder Tony Wheeler covered the entire country on his own. In the 36 years since then we’ve sent literally hundreds of authors around Australia to check every dusty nook and cranny of the world’s largest island for Lonely Planet guidebooks. This 17th edition of the Australia guide com-bined the efforts of 11 fabulous Lonely Planet writers. To see who did what, see Our Writers (p1112). We’d also like to thank the following people for their contributions to this guide: Dr Michael Cathcart, Dr Tim Flannery and Cathy Craigie. Andrew Tudor wrote the Where
to Surf section in the Aus-tralia Outdoors chapter. This guidebook was commissioned in Lonely Planet’s Melbourne office, and produced by the following:Commissioning Editor Maryanne NettoCoordinating Editor Alison RidgwaySenior Cartographers Julie Sheridan, Diana Von HoldtCoordinating Layout Designer Carlos SolarteManaging Editors Barbara Delissen, Martine PowerManaging Layout Designer Chris GirdlerAssisting Editors Susie Ashworth, Penny Cordner, Andrea Dobbin, Lauren Hunt, Anne Mason, Alan Murphy,
