National Geographic Traveler， February 2000 These handsome， well-edited books from a Hong Kong-based publisher cover places few other guidebooks go.... The writers are particularly well-chosen....Odyssey fans tend to be adventurous travelers with a literary bent. If you're lucky enough to find an Odyssey Guide to where you're going， grab it. Book Description The vast continent of Australia is still a place apart. It is the world's oldest continent， but little is known about its ancient past. There is a unique feel to Australia--the reversed seasons， flowers that don't smell， distinctive wildlife and， of course， its diverse people. Blessed by a near-perfect climate， life in Australia has a pace of its own and Australians are among the most hospitable people on earth. This highly readable guide is the perfect introduction to that wonderful continent. Each of Australia's states and territories is covered in separate sections， all extensively revised. Special topics give additional insight to aspects of daily life--pubs， wine， Aussie slang， sports， cinema and the uneasy status of the native Aborigines--while literary excerpts give some interesting views of the country. Extensively revised third edition. New topics include the Sydney 2000 Olympics， wine and Australian cinema. Literary excerpts， by and about Australians， illuminate local culture and idiosyncracies. Clear and informative maps. Outstanding photographs emphasize the diversity of Australia. Emphasis on having fun in Australia. Entertaining and intelligent introduction to an enigmatic country.
