[...] Title : Sydney (Eyewitness Travel Guides S.) Author : Rating : 5 Stars out of 5. Summary : An excellent guide. Don’t visit Sydney without it I’ve just returned from a stay in Sydney (April 2006). I took this little book with me. It was a tremendous help. It is very colourful and nicely arranged. The places that any tourist will definitely want to visit are explained using full colour maps and 3D illustrations that you really can’t go wrong with. My only criticism of it is that it doesn’t give many prices. Some places are expensive to enter, so knowing the price beforehand, even if it is out of date, gives an indication of its value for money. That said, it is hard to fault this book. Title : Ashes 2005: The Full Story of the Test Series Author : Gideon Haigh Rating : 3 Stars out of 5. Summary : Great writer but… …it’s a shame he’s much more interested in the Aussies than England – there are whole chapters on Warne and Ponting and next to nothing on the likes of Simon Jones, Giles and Hoggard. Not even that much on Vaughan’s captaincy or, most importantly, the fascinating way England, as a team, wrested the urn back, even after the disaster of Lords. He claims to support England but I doubt it on this showing. It would be understandable had he been writing for an Australian paper but most of this stuff was from the Guardian and Cricinfo.Mine may be a slightly parochial view, mind you, and as I say, the man can really write. Title : Getting a Job in Australia: A Step-by-step Guide to Finding Work Down Under Author : Nick Vandome Rating : 4 Stars out of 5. Summary : Basic but comprehensive I wasn’t sure what to expect from this book, I wanted to understand the tax implications and visa types but couln’t find any straight information on the internet.I was pleasently suprised it contains all that and more.I was much amused by the comments on Australian culture in the workplace the concept or sickies, dobers and mates.The book is well researched, as to how accurate, I will have to tell you after I have worked out there! Title : Living and Working in Australia: A City by City Guide Author : Roberta Duman Rating : 5 Stars out of 5. Summary : Can’t do without it… this is really useful and a must have for anyone planning a trip out down under for a substantial length of time – it includes all the small things you would never think about but you should know about – truly indispensable..

[...] Title : The Fatal Shore: History of the Transportation of Convicts to Australia, 1787-1868 (Harvill Panther S.) Author : Robert Hughes Rating : 4 Stars out of 5. Summary : A history of The Convict Stain From Captain cook’s discovery of Botany Bay and The First Fleet’s cargo of convicts this is comprehensive history of the transpotation system and the earliest days in the fledgling Australia. Factual and detailed the author desribes the gradual genocide of the primitive Aboriginal race, the precarious settlement of Sydney, the floggings and horrors inflicted within the harshest prisons on Tasmania and Norfolk Island. A tale of Britain’s attempt to sweep an entire unwanted section of the communtity ‘under the carpet’- which stopped only when they started getting rich on the proceeds of the newly discovered Australian goldfields. Wealth which could never quite remove ‘The Stain’ of a convict origin. Title : Living and Working in Australia: A City by City Guide Author : Roberta Duman Rating : 5 Stars out of 5. Summary : Excellent! This book is an invaluable guide. It’s packed full of useful info and tips on getting by Down Under – concise, up-to-date and beautifully put together. I have only been back from Australia a couple of weeks and quite frankly I wouldn’t have survived without it! Title : The Fatal Shore: History of the Transportation of Convicts to Australia, 1787-1868 (Harvill Panther S.) Author : Robert Hughes Rating : 5 Stars out of 5. Summary : A History of British Brutality Robert Hughes “The Fatal Shore” is a compelling, readable, and meticuously documented account of the settlement of Australia. More than that, it provides within that harrowing story a picture of 18th and 19th Century penal attitudes the biases and prejudices of which can still,too often, be recognised in contemporary penal practice. In particular, the story of Alexander Moconochie’s reforms on Norfolk Island, and their rejection, is a tale of overwhelming tragedy. This cruel and bitter saga is yet another illustration of a recurring theme in British history, of how the protection of the wealth and property of a few has always had priority over the common good. The multiplication of capital offences under George 111, and his brutal penal regime, did little to deter the poverty stricken agricultural and industrial labourers of that era. The greatest fear of the industrial capitalists and the wealthy landowners was a revolution of the dispossessed, and to transport this threat to the other side of the globe, and so eliminate it, was the safest way to secure the status quo. Although Hughes does not labour this point he does vividly show how the demonisation of a class, and the extreme brutality that accompanied it, led to a penal system that lasted for more than half a century. For convicts to resist the thuggery of the State was futile, but to resist, and so suffer more brutality, was, ironically,the only way to retain the last flickering of humanity and personal integrity. The book is a timely reminder that the core values that have shaped British history have changed little, and demonisation is still used to protect and sustain political and corporate interests. A stimulating, readable, and masterly account of the British Gulag and of those who suffered in the grip of its iron fist. Highly recommended. Title : Living and Working in Australia: A City by City Guide Author : Roberta Duman Rating : 5 Stars out of 5. Summary : Essential reading…. for those people wanting to work and live in Oz. If you pack one thing in your rucksack, make sure it’s this! Seriously, it’s a must-have, the information is spot on, helpful and easy to use…finding jobs in Oz was made significantly easier with this book as a point of reference. I’d like one for South America now please! Title : Lonely Planet : Australian Phrasebook Author : Sue Butler Rating : 4 Stars out of 5. Summary : A must-have for any Aussie visitor used this book for my 8 month trip round australia, certainly was my bible (sorry) The information is very acurate with only a couple of mistakes that left me staying in what can only be describe as an ex-mental hospital with a few left-over patients!.. apart from that, I stayed in over 100 hostels, all listed within the book and all as acurate as the descriptions!.. if your oz bound buy it!

[...] The fact that on page 51 of this book it claims that Australia won the second test at Edgbaston shows that somebody didn’t do their job. This is terribly wrong as millions of people in this country and around the world will testify. How this has gone unnoticed by the publisher is staggering and should surely result in the proof reader facing the sack and reprints being rushed out to sooth the dismay of their shocked customers. On the other hand, given the constant mocking of the England team, maybe Gideon Haigh wanted to stir things up by putting this score, because as a closet Aussie fan this is a result that would have surely warmed his heart.Though Gideon Haigh claims to support England this really is the grudging Aussie point of view at the end of the day. Don’t buy this book if you want beautiful images of the Ashes because there are many other books with far superior images. But if you want to read intelligent articles about the Ashes from a man who knows his stuff then this book is for you. Gideon Haigh may be the most annoying writer on the planet, because of his awkward style, but at least he has something intelligent to tell us.

[...] The book is a collection of essays written as the test series was taking place and so gives a good feel for the glorious twists and turns of the games in contrast to some of the other Ashes books written with perfect 20:20 hindsight. As an aside, this is probably the only Ashes 2005 book that namechecks the Ramones.PS: the howler on page 51 (who won the Edgbaston test by 2 runs) has been fixed in the reprinted editions.

Summary : A must-have for any Aussie visitor used this book for my 8 month trip round australia, certainly was my bible (sorry) The information is very acurate with only a couple of mistakes that left me staying in what can only be describe as an ex-mental hospital with a few left-over patients!.. apart from that, I stayed in over 100 hostels, all listed within the book and all as acurate as the descriptions!.. if your oz bound buy it! Title : Getting a Job in Australia: A Step-by-step Guide to Finding Work Down Under Author : Nick Vandome Rating : 4 Stars out of 5. Summary : Basic but comprehensive I wasn’t sure what to expect from this book, I wanted to understand the tax implications and visa types but couln’t find any straight information on the internet.I was pleasently suprised it contains all that and more.I was much amused by the comments on Australian culture in the workplace the concept or sickies, dobers and mates.The book is well researched, as to how accurate, I will have to tell you after I have worked out there! Title : The Rough Guide to Australia (Rough Guide Travel Guides S.) Author : Margo Daly Rating : 2 Stars out of 5. Summary : A brief outline… This book gives a brief insight into many areas but, tries to do too much and fails miserably. The content is generally ok but in some cases outdated. You will not find the information that you need to plan your itinerary in this guide Title : Rough Guide Map Australia (Rough Guide Map S.) Author : Rough Guides Rating : 5 Stars out of 5. Summary : Map review The rough guide map is great. I am looking to travel in Oz next year and needed a planning map. All the other maps concentrate on each state, or area. This one is perfect, as it covers a large area of the country on each side, yet you feel that it can be used to get about as a normal regional map.Excellent value for money Title : Australia (Lonely Planet Country Guide S.) Author : Paul Smitz Rating : 4 Stars out of 5. Summary : Starting Point No single guide to an entire continent could ever be comprehensive, but the Lonely Planet guide has a good stab at it. The guide is well presented and well organised, being divided up by state. City and Town sections are presented in the standard Lonely Planet way, with an introduction, maps, lists of places to sleep, shop, eat, drink etc. For me the standout feature is that the guide supplies a web address (where there is one) for every listed establishment, museum, tour company etc. This provides a great starting point to find out if what they suggest might really be for you or not, and to plan your trip. Crucially all of the information that I have relied on is up to date. Having also looked at the Lonely Planet East Coast, Queensland and Sydney guidebooks I would say that there is enough information in the Australia guide book to preclude purchasing a more specific one. The only major problem, as I believe with all Lonely Planet books, are the awful town and city maps. While they are just suitable for establishing if a bar you’re interested in is anywhere near your hostel, they don’t really provide a means of getting you there with much chance of success. The tiny versions of the public transport networks for Sydney and Melbourne are a nice idea, but not practical unless you were to go to the effort of making an enlarged photocopy version. In contrast however, the larger scale maps are quite deceent and fairly useful. In conculsion I was extremely pleased with this guide, which made an excellent starting point for deciding what to see do and experience in Australia.

[...] Title : Aboriginal Art (World of Art S.) Author : Wally Caruana Rating : 5 Stars out of 5. Summary : An essential primer I bought a copy of this last year to read before a trip to Australia. I knew very little about Aborigine art but this is an excellent introduction to this fascinating culture with such a vast and powerful art history.Coverage is given to the various regions of Australia, pointing out differing cultures, environments, subject matter, styles and techniques. I was also pleased to discover it gave coverage not just to the traditional arts but also to more contemporary works, pointing out both the continuations and differences. Title : Sydney (Eyewitness Travel Guides S.) Author : Rating : 5 Stars out of 5. Summary : An excellent guide. Don’t visit Sydney without it I’ve just returned from a stay in Sydney (April 2006).

Summary : Where would I be without this book? this book was easy to use, very useful when I was travelling on my gap year and the reason that I managed to make it safely round oz. it guided me to some of the best places to stay and warned me off a few that I tried anyway and then realised the wisdom in their words after I had made my mistake. Buy this book if you are travelling oz, heed its words, take its advice but also don’t be afraid to do a little experimenting of your own as I found many a gem of place to stay/ eat and see that were not included in the book – but then you cant expect them to know everything, it is only a rough guide but a very nice one to have by your side when you feel like you are on the other side of the world, it lends a big helping hand in making your travels that bit simpler. Buy. Title : Xenophobe’s Guide to Kiwis (Xenophobe’s Guide S.) Author : Christine Cole Catley Rating : 5 Stars out of 5. Summary : Brilliant work Brilliant work which shows great insight into the beliefs and fables of New Zealanders in both a contemporary and historical context, in a humorous way which reflects the Kiwi ability to laugh at themselves I am sure there isn’t a New Zealander around who couldn’t recognize the traits portrayed in either themselves or people they know. I also have no doubt that in time the guide will be seen as an important historical resource #8211; where else can you find accurate and pertinent data spanning generations of New Zealanders in just 63 pages!The authors are to be congratulated for truly encapsulating the Kiwi trait of being able to laugh at themselves.The most hilarious book I have read in ages.

[...] Title : Aboriginal Art (World of Art S.) Author : Wally Caruana Rating : 5 Stars out of 5. Summary : Lovely little paper back book about Australian Art I bought this book for my son as a reference guide for his GCSE Art. The original at school had been knicked as it was so popular.He produced a Brilliant piece of work inspired by it’s content and pictures. He used ther inspiration from the art to produce a map from his home to school in the style of the Aboriginees on a massive pot from BQ.If you want a great little book on the subject then buy this.

Summary : A brief outline… This book gives a brief insight into many areas but, tries to do too much and fails miserably. The content is generally ok but in some cases outdated.

Summary : great dive guide For a diver looking to visit Australia there is so much more than the Great BArrier Reef.This guide details dive sites all over the Australian coast, from reefs to wrecks. It gives information on the best time of year to dive, what you will expect to see, depth, level of difficulty etc.This is a must for anyone interested in diving in Oz. Title : Ashes 2005: The Full Story of the Test Series Author : Gideon Haigh Rating : 4 Stars out of 5. Summary : Surprisingly Good My heart sank as I read the introduction to this book for it is simply a collection of Gideon Haigh’s match reports and articles from the Guardian, Cricinfo Wisden Cricketer. In order to meet the publication deadline they are essentially untouched.This gives the book some structural problems, for example for each test there is an overall match report before the day by day summaries and because the reports are drawn from a number of different sources there is some repetition and some odd digressions. Furthermore, given the rush to publish, there are, inevitably, mistakes: most egregiously, the upsetting assertion that Australia won the second test by two runs.It is a tribute to Haigh’s qualities as a writer and journalist and the intrinsic appeal of the Ashes contest of 2005 that despite these problems this is actually a good book. Haigh writes well and is a knowledgeable cricket pundit; the book is full of interesting observations and funny moments. I suspect that in order to appreciate the book, the reader needs to be quite well versed in the nuances of cricket and have an appreciation of cricket history; this is a book for the genuine cricket fan, not someone with a passing interest.The book does contain a quote from Haigh that, for me, sums up the series: ‘It wasn’t long before the Ashes of 2005 had become the best Ashes in recent memory; a little longer and it was one of the best in history; by its conclusion it was a Test match classic that will be talked about for as long as I live, which can be guaranteed, because I will be doing the talking if no one else cares to.’ Haigh does not need to worry, there are many others, including me, who will be talking about it as well.

[...] Title : The Fatal Shore: History of the Transportation of Convicts to Australia, 1787-1868 (Harvill Panther S.) Author : Robert Hughes Rating : 5 Stars out of 5. Summary : A History of British Brutality Robert Hughes “The Fatal Shore” is a compelling, readable, and meticuously documented account of the settlement of Australia. More than that, it provides within that harrowing story a picture of 18th and 19th Century penal attitudes the biases and prejudices of which can still,too often, be recognised in contemporary penal practice. In particular, the story of Alexander Moconochie’s reforms on Norfolk Island, and their rejection, is a tale of overwhelming tragedy. This cruel and bitter saga is yet another illustration of a recurring theme in British history, of how the protection of the wealth and property of a few has always had priority over the common good. The multiplication of capital offences under George 111, and his brutal penal regime, did little to deter the poverty stricken agricultural and industrial labourers of that era. The greatest fear of the industrial capitalists and the wealthy landowners was a revolution of the dispossessed, and to transport this threat to the other side of the globe, and so eliminate it, was the safest way to secure the status quo. Although Hughes does not labour this point he does vividly show how the demonisation of a class, and the extreme brutality that accompanied it, led to a penal system that lasted for more than half a century. For convicts to resist the thuggery of the State was futile, but to resist, and so suffer more brutality, was, ironically,the only way to retain the last flickering of humanity and personal integrity. The book is a timely reminder that the core values that have shaped British history have changed little, and demonisation is still used to protect and sustain political and corporate interests. A stimulating, readable, and masterly account of the British Gulag and of those who suffered in the grip of its iron fist. Highly recommended. Title : Rough Guide Map Australia (Rough Guide Map S.) Author : Rough Guides Rating : 4 Stars out of 5. Summary : Where would I be without this book? this book was easy to use, very useful when I was travelling on my gap year and the reason that I managed to make it safely round oz. it guided me to some of the best places to stay and warned me off a few that I tried anyway and then realised the wisdom in their words after I had made my mistake. Buy this book if you are travelling oz, heed its words, take its advice but also don’t be afraid to do a little experimenting of your own as I found many a gem of place to stay/ eat and see that were not included in the book – but then you cant expect them to know everything, it is only a rough guide but a very nice one to have by your side when you feel like you are on the other side of the world, it lends a big helping hand in making your travels that bit simpler. Buy. Title : Down Under Author : Bill Bryson Rating : 5 Stars out of 5. Summary : Hilarious Portrait of Oz and its People As an Aussie living overseas, this book was a fabulous read for me. It was my first Bryson read, and I think his best. It really captures a lot of the eccentricities and uniqueness of the country and the Australian character- and provides some great laughs in the process! I enjoyed the way he didn’t necessarily always do typically touristy things, but rather set out to experience and capture the local life. Sometimes the view of an outsider can be the best way to see the uniqueness of your own country and people. Bryson really does this. So many things he mentions that seem amusingly distinct to Australians are things that never would have entered my head because I see them as usual! One example is how he mentions the Aussie habit of finding a name then naming everything after it (eg: MacQuarie- MacQuarie Street, Lake MacQuarie, the town of Port MacQuarie, Lady MacQuarie’s Chair, and so on). It’s absolutely true! Perhaps the best part is the people he meets- some real characters! This makes the book really personal, as you get a feel for the personality of the Aussie people. I gave the book to my European boyfriend, whose dream now is to go to Queensland- not because it’s so beautiful, but because he thinks they sound like a bunch of crazy people with a great, relaxed outlook on life. If you’re an Aussie living overseas, read this book for a true piece of home. If you’re not an Aussie, read this book for a true feel about the country and its people. Bryson hit the nail on the head with this one! Title : Sydney (Lonely Planet City Map S.) Author : Rating : 5 Stars out of 5. Summary : Sydney – Lonely Planet City Map This map is a must if you’re trying to negate your way around Sydney. We started of with this map at the beginning, lost it in the middle and were extremely grateful to find it again towards the end of our trip. The maps that you are given in hotels or buy in shops over there are for some reason useless! They only highlight the larger roads which aren’t too bad if you’re driving around, but on foot is pain when you have to retrace your blunder in the heat. As in any city that is new to you, the one way streets are difficult to tackle. This map illustrates all they one way streets clearly, has the City Rail and ferry map, and is plastic coated and light enough to fold into your bag. Title : Living and Working in Australia (Living Working S.) Author : David Hampshire Rating : 4 Stars out of 5. Summary : The title says it all Having read a number of publications of similar approach I must admit this one’s outstanding. The information provided is not only considering almost every single aspect of living in Oz, but most important: it’s (imho) spot-on and even pretty much up-to-date. David’s writing is fun and easy to read and I would recommend this book to everyone on the move down under.

[...] The book begins with an overview and map of world heritage areas of Australia, as well as full pages of information on Aboriginal culture, Australian artists and writers, wines and beach culture. Another useful section involves a month-by-month guide to Australian entertainment (for example, October includes the Melbourne Marathon, Writers Festival and Carnival of Flowers), as well as information on climate: temperatures, hours of sunshine and rainfall in major cities for each month of the year. There is a fifteen-page summary of Australian history, with photographs, a timeline, artwork, maps, vintage posters and museum pieces.The section covering Sydney is an impressive one hundred pages in length, with key segments including maps and many superb photographs regarding Sydney’s best museums and galleries, best architecture, best architecture and reserves. Key streets, such as ‘The Rocks’ and places of interest there (includes admission prices, opening times and contact information where applicable). There is even a room-by-room guide to the prestigious Powerhouse museum. Also included are a mini- shopping directory, and guide to where the best stores can be found, as well as a beach guide (listing Sydney’s top thirty beaches, and points are awarded for amenities such as windsurfing, scuba diving, barbeque facilities and restaurants). The chapter ends with six pages of detailed colour maps depicting Sydney’s main streets. The other main chapters cover key cities and states of Australia in a similarly impressive fashion.There are pages at the back of the book with a twenty-five-page guide to the best hotels in Australia, a section of the same length describing the best places to eat (both parts providing contact information, and a list of facilities.) One of my favourite pages was the guide to Australian delicacies such as Yum Cha (a mini Chinese feast), Char-grilled Kangaroo Fillet and Baked Ricotta Cake (including rosella buds). A photograph accompanies each explanation of the dish. Practical information, such as what different bank notes look like, how the public phones work and public transport information can be found on the final pages. All in all, the DK Eyewitness guide is indispensable; although my only criticism is that it is rather heavy, so not really suitable for those hoping to travel light.

[...] Title : Down Under Author : Bill Bryson Rating : 4 Stars out of 5. Summary : Slight criticism of a superb book. I recently spent almost 5 weeks in Oz and was handed this book by my son on arrival. Its a perfect book to read of relaxation ( and a little education) either whilst travelling or on return from Oz. His writing is so enjoyable and so apt. My only criticism is that there are some places he should have given more time to, although he did this in his book about Great Britain, as soom places are far more fun than he seemed to appreciate. Overall I thoroughly enjoyed this book! Title : The Fatal Shore: History of the Transportation of Convicts to Australia, 1787-1868 (Harvill Panther S.) Author : Robert Hughes Rating : 5 Stars out of 5. Summary : Well worth the read. This book is an excellent read, both accessible and fluid in its writing as well as detailed and well researched.I’m sure that this book will be an invaluable resource for those studying or interested in the transportation process and Australian history in general. While the main focus is on the penal colonies, the book opens with fascinating insights into both the Aboriginal group around Sydney harbour at the time and also the Georgian “Working” and “criminal” class. Both of which give depth and range to the subject at hand.Being a history teacher myself I can recommend this book for teachers who are looking for something new and interesting to spice up the industrial revolution. And for the general reader I would recommend this book as a fascinating and balanced insight into a very different world. One that is both part of and a world away from the Georgian world we so often hear about. Title : Rough Guide Map Australia (Rough Guide Map S.) Author : Rough Guides Rating : 5 Stars out of 5. Summary : the best travel companion you could wish for! By far the best guide to australia i have read. As an aid to planning it was faultless. The hotel /hostel listings and descriptions were spot on, as were the things to do sections. Excellent! Title : Ashes 2005: The Full Story of the Test Series Author : Gideon Haigh Rating : 5 Stars out of 5. Summary : An intelligent read A really intelligent read with some great character sketches and a wide-ranging take on contemporary popular culture as well as what has made cricket tick over the decades. Some of the prose can be a little dense but is well worth the effort. It’s an intriguing book which one will return to with pleasure this winter when other Ashes books seem just one more photo-montage for the Christmas stocking. BUT – and it doesn’t detract from the five stars – spot the howler on page 51! Title : Lonely Planet : Australian Phrasebook Author : Sue Butler Rating : 4 Stars out of 5. Summary : A must-have for any Aussie visitor used this book for my 8 month trip round australia, certainly was my bible (sorry) The information is very acurate with only a couple of mistakes that left me staying in what can only be describe as an ex-mental hospital with a few left-over patients!.. apart from that, I stayed in over 100 hostels, all listed within the book and all as acurate as the descriptions!.. if your oz bound buy it!

[...] The fact that on page 51 of this book it claims that Australia won the second test at Edgbaston shows that somebody didn’t do their job. This is terribly wrong as millions of people in this country and around the world will testify. How this has gone unnoticed by the publisher is staggering and should surely result in the proof reader facing the sack and reprints being rushed out to sooth the dismay of their shocked customers. On the other hand, given the constant mocking of the England team, maybe Gideon Haigh wanted to stir things up by putting this score, because as a closet Aussie fan this is a result that would have surely warmed his heart.Though Gideon Haigh claims to support England this really is the grudging Aussie point of view at the end of the day. Don’t buy this book if you want beautiful images of the Ashes because there are many other books with far superior images. But if you want to read intelligent articles about the Ashes from a man who knows his stuff then this book is for you. Gideon Haigh may be the most annoying writer on the planet, because of his awkward style, but at least he has something intelligent to tell us. Title : Living and Working in Australia (Living Working S.) Author : David Hampshire Rating : 5 Stars out of 5. Summary : Spot On! I haven’t even gotten to Australia yet and this book has been incredibly useful to me. I am relocating to Sydney next month and this book helped me negotiate my new contract and determine what I need to do before I go. It also has great sections for the worriers amongst us, such as what exactly happens when you reach Immigration Control in the Airport. I’ll definitley be taking it with me and dipping into it many times over the next few months.

[...] Title : Ashes 2005: The Full Story of the Test Series Author : Gideon Haigh Rating : 4 Stars out of 5. Summary : Surprisingly Good My heart sank as I read the introduction to this book for it is simply a collection of Gideon Haigh's match reports and articles from the Guardian, Cricinfo Wisden Cricketer. In order to meet the publication deadline they are essentially untouched.This gives the book some structural problems, for example for each test there is an overall match report before the day by day summaries and because the reports are drawn from a number of different sources there is some repetition and some odd digressions. Furthermore, given the rush to publish, there are, inevitably, mistakes: most egregiously, the upsetting assertion that Australia won the second test by two runs.It is a tribute to Haigh's qualities as a writer and journalist and the intrinsic appeal of the Ashes contest of 2005 that despite these problems this is actually a good book. Haigh writes well and is a knowledgeable cricket pundit; the book is full of interesting observations and funny moments. I suspect that in order to appreciate the book, the reader needs to be quite well versed in the nuances of cricket and have an appreciation of cricket history; this is a book for the genuine cricket fan, not someone with a passing interest.The book does contain a quote from Haigh that, for me, sums up the series: 'It wasn't long before the Ashes of 2005 had become the best Ashes in recent memory; a little longer and it was one of the best in history; by its conclusion it was a Test match classic that will be talked about for as long as I live, which can be guaranteed, because I will be doing the talking if no one else cares to.' Haigh does not need to worry, there are many others, including me, who will be talking about it as well. Title : Dangerous Creatures of Australia (Michelin Green Guides) Author : Marty Robinson Rating : 4 Stars out of 5. Summary : Don't visit Australia until you have read this book Researching Australia for an impending trip, I heard all kinds of horror stories about how I could end up being injected with poison by innocent-looking toads, ripped to pieces by blood-thirsty tiger sharks or even have a couple of bites taken out of me by cute-looking caterpillars. What I discovered by reading Dangerous Creatures of Australia however, was that that is all they are; stories. In fact, on the first page the author's opening statement is 'Many people believe that Australia is full of dangerous wild animals. Although it is true that we have many potentially dangerous creatures, most of them are rarely encountered and indeed even hard to find.' Whilst he goes on to admit that 'Australia has more venomous snakes than any other country, both the world's most venomous spiders and the world's most venomous octopuses,' Robinson covers many pages on reassuring the reader via a table of statistics regarding accidental death, that you are more likely to be murdered, poisoned or even struck by lightening than you are to die from a snake bite. There is also material regarding precautions the reader can take to avoid being attacked by a dangerous animal and many maps showing the precise locations of the creatures' whereabouts.The author splits the book into the following sections: Large land animals (including feral pigs and snakes), small land animals (spiders and scorpions), large water animals (sharks and crocodiles) and small water animals (jellyfish and octopuses). One thing that particularly enthralled me about the book was the strange and sometimes downright bizarre creatures that can be found in Australia. The sea snake, for instance, with its paddle-shaped tail, single lung and short (yet deadly) fangs. Fire coral, as the name suggests, is a type of coral which looks no different than the regular kind, yet one brush against it could cause nasty stinging.I found the full colour photographs together with the information very useful, as I could get a clear picture of exactly what was being described, should I be unlucky enough to come across the creature in question. Those with a tendency for being faint-hearted should steer clear of the rather nauseating pictures graphically depicting injuries sustained from encounters with leeches and snake bites. Whether you are planning a short break in Australia or a backpacking holiday, the book is very small and lightweight, and therefore can slip into your bag without adding any significant weight. A down side however, is the price #8211; for a book so concise, I found the asking price a bit much.Anyone with an interest in the fascinating country that is Australia may also like the wonderfully funny 'Down Under' (by travel writer Bill Bryson), or 'Wild Down Under: The Natural History of Australia' (by Damon Smith). Both are excellent, with the latter depicting the natural wonders of the country in hundreds of beautiful photographs. I sincerely hope that I won't bump in to any of the dangerous creatures shown in this book on my travels, but just in case, it's handy to have a copy nearby. Title : Sydney (Lonely Planet City Map S.) Author : Rating : 5 Stars out of 5. Summary : Sydney – Lonely Planet City Map This map is a must if you're trying to negate your way around Sydney.

Title : Xenophobe's Guide to Kiwis (Xenophobe's Guide S.) Author : Christine Cole Catley Rating : 5 Stars out of 5. Summary : Brilliant work Brilliant work which shows great insight into the beliefs and fables of New Zealanders in both a contemporary and historical context, in a humorous way which reflects the Kiwi ability to laugh at themselves I am sure there isn't a New Zealander around who couldn't recognize the traits portrayed in either themselves or people they know. I also have no doubt that in time the guide will be seen as an important historical resource #8211; where else can you find accurate and pertinent data spanning generations of New Zealanders in just 63 pages!The authors are to be congratulated for truly encapsulating the Kiwi trait of being able to laugh at themselves.The most hilarious book I have read in ages.
