The guide represents great value for money, especially when the cost of the book can be recouped after only a few nights camping out.
Being able to plan a trip with stopovers that are free or low cost, knowing if a pet is welcome and seeing at a glance what facilities are available, has proven to be a hit with travellers across Australia. It is easy to see why it is now clearly regarded as the traveller's bible.
All in all, an easy to use and comprehensive guide to rest areas and camp spots throughout Australia, a definite must-have for all travellers.
