Adventurers and travellers had been fascinated by Australia long before the "Great South Land" was claimed in 1770 by Captain James Cook. Since then, this land of primordial beauty has exercised that fascination even more strongly. This travel guide unfolds the stories of the continent, from Arnhem Land Aborigines to Sydney Harbourside dwellers, from Ayers Rock to the coral kaleidoscope of the Great Barrier Reef. Part of the "Insight Guides" series, this book gives information about transport, accommodation, eating, shopping, opening times and special attractions.
