1. I used this map book on a recent trip to Australia. I used it extensively and in conjunction with other travel books. We drove a rented RV from Sydney to Cairns (about 1500 miles). Had a blast and found this map book very useful.

1 comments about 50 Walks in the Grampians.

1. If you have ever dreamed of hiking through mountains without all of the rugged turain that goes with them , then the grampions are for you!

   50 WALKS IN THE GRAMPIONS is an excellant way to discover the many secrets that hide within the mountains. Good description of fifty different trials for the hiker/walker within you !

   A brilliant buy for every keen traveller!

1. This map is useless if you plan on driving the North and South Islands. You are better off picking up free maps when you get there.



2. I am using this map a lot- my friends say that I overthink things but I have 12 days on the ground to cram all that I can into- Not to mention covering LOTS of ground to cover. This map has been vital to planning my trip. I have not yet had the experience to tell you if it was accurate or not, but soon I will be able to tell you exactly how many miles are in an inch of this map.....and have photos of every one of them!



3. This map is an absolute waste of money. I didn't open it once
   during my 3 weeks in New Zealand. The country map has roads on
   it, but no markings indicating the road name or number - try
   finding your way around without that information sometime.
   You can get much better maps for free in New Zealand. If you
   rent a car, they'll likely give you a good map with the rental
   (at least Budget did). Jason's and AA (their version of AAA)
   also put out free maps that you can pick up at the airport,
   information centers, hotels, and various other places.

1. This book was very helpfull, especially with the pictures of the B&B's, in making our desicions where to stay. We have been to New Zealand before, but this was a great help. If one is going to travel NZ on their own, I would recomend this.



2. A good book with lots of information on B&B's throughout New Zealand.
   Also small enough to take with you.



3. The guide is organized geographically, even within a region, which is not especially helpful to those who don't know their way around. Properties are not listed alphabetically within a town. Alphabetically by town then name within a region would be more useful. The blurbs for each property are written by the owners so there's a wide range of value in the text. Addition of a set of ideograms to describe basic amenities would also be a great help in identifying a property meeting one's criteria.
