Book Description
Admit it: you're here for the beaches, aren't you? Sure, we all know that Queensland's also got great dining, a thriving, accessible indigenous culture and a healthy international vibe. But it's the sun-kissed beaches, gentle warm sea and coral reef you're really here for, isn't it?
• GET WET - don scuba or snorkel gear and head beneath the waves to check out the Great Barrier Reef's colorful scenes
• GET BRONZED on some of Australia's finest sun-kissed beaches in between dips in clear, warm waters to cool off
• GET SCARED - whether dangling on the end of a bungy rope, leaping our of a plane or checking out a crocodile farm
• GET STUFFED - fill your face with fresh seafood at a posh Noosa eatery, sample eclectic international fare at Cairn's restaurants, or enjoy cafe lattes and live music streetside in Brisbane

Almost completely useless.......2007-01-10
My husband and I like travelling. We are used to Lonely Planet series.
But this one has been almost completely useless. We are always careful to get the most up-to-date version, and if it hasn't been updated in the last two years we definitively don't rely on it alone, only as background information.
On the inside of the cover, it is said this 2006 version has been lately reviewed. However EVERYTHING except some addresses were out of date.
Furthermore the guidebook doesn't provide a lot of information or description as we were used when using Lonely Planet guidebooks for our travelling in Asia.
We got much more and for free at the Tourist Information Office, which address it is true we had found in the Lonely Planet guidebook. But even the address of the Cairns' QWSP Office(Queensland Wildlife Bureau, where you can get park permits) was wrong. The cost of living, including restaurant were all wrong. It is NOT true that vacation is cheap there. It is definitively more expensive than the US. Indeed Queensland has learnt the value of the Great Barrier, and how much money they can get for it from the tourism. It is a real business.
Saying that we enjoyed very much our time there: people are nice (I love their humour), landscape and 'seascape'were marvellous, food expensive but very fresh and tasty, especially seafood. It was just a pity we had to be careful over our spending because we didn't expect and so plan the local expenses.
To come back to Lonely Planet guidebooks, it is the second one in few months that has disappointed us. The first one was on Kauai Island, Hawaii. May be we should only consider Lonely Planet for Asia and Latin America destinations.

Comprehensive Guide to Queensland.......2005-09-08
Lonely Planet seems to me to be the most thorough of the guide-book publishers. The Guide to Queensland, the state that covers the northeastern part of Australia, is no exception. I think the town plans are particularly good.
Good Guide.......2003-12-15
Obviously purchase this book if you intend to visit Queensland only. I travelled for a month covering, Brisbane, Surfer's Paradise, Cairns, Cow Bay, Daintree, Cooktown, Undara, & Mission Beach. The information on hostels, transportation, things to do and see, and maps were right on. I used this book extensively and highly recommend it.

Awesome, but ONLY if you're VERY interested about QUEENSLAND........2005-06-28
It's a good regional guide, but you should consider it if you're staying lot of time and doing lot of activities in queensland. The Lonely Planet australia is enought for the 'basic knowledge' of the region.
Consider it ONLY if you wanna "research" DEEPLY in queensland.
Great guide, like other LP.......2000-05-18
LP does a great job, as usual, of detailing the less expensive ways to get around. I find that when they say a place is less-frequented, they are often right, at least for now.

Not a real city map.......2003-08-02
Well, OK, it is, but it isn't. There isn't nearly enough detail on this map to call it a proper city map of Brisbane. It's too small and misses a lot of areas. Nonetheless, if you have a friend who lives in Brisbane, as I do, then it's a perfectly fine map for getting a general idea of the city. Your friend will do the rest.
