A charming book about Queensland. It presents 71 driving or ferry tours for 1 or 2 days. Each tour is described on two pages, together with a chart and about 4 wonderful pictures. The text is well balanced with the pictures, informative and concise. A really fine book to give you a first inspiring view of Queensland.

Informative Book for Planning an Oz Holiday
Helpful Votes: 8 out of 8 total.
Review Date: 1999-10-31
I found this book very helpful in planning my Oz holiday. It provides useful recommendations on places and things to visit. The plentiful color pictures add much to the book's appeal.

While the book is good for planning your vacation, it does not provide detailed information on accommodation, transportation, or other essential information. Get another guidebook (such as The Rough Guide) to complement this book.

A complete insight into the greatest Reef on Earth.
Helpful Votes: 0 out of 0 total.
Review Date: 2004-12-23
After an 11 page introduction in which the author's skilfully set the scene, they collectively go on to explain the Great Barrier Reef in the way it should have been explained all along. With chapters on; Evolution, History & Exploration, Marine Life, Nature & Art, Life above, Diving, Fishing and finally Staying & Seeing, these two authors have covered all bases in an interesting a readable way.

Not all visitors to the greatest reef on earth are either divers or fishermen and there are few books which cater for those who are not. This one caters for all tastes.

Superbly supported with colour photographs on every page - some of which will make your eyes pop right out of your head, this is a book to please all those who read it.

Altogether a very exciting book!

Outstanding
Helpful Votes: 1 out of 1 total.
Review Date: 2004-05-04
I *loved* this book. Finally, I learned why this race was so awful. It is compelling, informative, accurate in every way and meticulously written.

Extreme Event is written by a journalist so the reportage is trustworthy. Whitmont's writing style is compelling and investigates especially the events surrounding Business Post Naiad, whereas Knockdown and Proving Ground tended not to go into this in nearly as much detail.

I highly recommend that anyone who wants to get the lowdown on what went wrong to take this book out of their local library if it's out of stock at the bookstore.

It pays homage to those doing what they love and recognises in no uncertain terms that things really can go wrong.

I have a large library, but this is the most beautiful collection of photographs I have ever owned. I have owned it for 13 years, and paging through it still thrills me every time. I was stunned to discover that the photo's were in fact not even taken by an Aussie, which just goes to show how refreshing the outlook of a visitor to foreign shores can be.

A captivating story
Helpful Votes: 0 out of 0 total.
Review Date: 2004-12-07
Eyes In The Night by Jan Ramage is a picturebook about a young boy's effort to rehabilitate an injured owl that he discovers in his yard in Australia. Laura Peterson's dark yet beautiful color illustrations add a dramatic touch to this simple story, which is grounded in the very real tragedy that feral cats have brought to the land of Australia - after their introduction by Australian settlers, many domestic cats and other animals have turned feral, and since Australia has no natural predator like them, they have exacted a devastating toll on the continent's wildlife, even rendering some species extinct. A captivating story of the bond between rehabilitator and a majestic injured creature.

A marvel for the mind

Review Date: 1999-11-26
If you love crime/mystery books... prepare to be spellbound. I love this book.

It was recommended to me along with the information that this great crime book "is impossible to make into a film." If you think Hollywood can do 'anything' with a book, read this and understand why it couldn't bring this to the screen. It's all in the pages that you will want to turn faster and faster.

This book is proof that movies can never surpass the art of novel writing.

P.S. The author on the cover, Cameron McCabe, is actually the name of the main character in the book. Adds to the intrigue.

An anthology of writings discussing Christian faith
Helpful Votes: 1 out of 1 total.
Review Date: 2004-10-07
Collaboratively compiled, organized, and edited by David Neville (Lecturer in New Testament at St. Mark's National Theological Centre in Canberra and the School of Theology, Charles Sturt University) and Philip Matthews (Lecturer in the Philosophy Department at the University of Notre Dame, Australia), Faith And Freedom: Christian Ethics In A Pluralist Culture is an anthology of writings by learned authors discussing Christian faith in the context of the pluralist culture of Australia. Views from Anabaptist, Anglican, Baptist, Lutheran, Roman Catholic, Presbyterian and more traditions offer contrasting discussions of such matters as Christian ethics, the politics of Jesus and Christian pacifism, whether seen as political action or as public theology, and much more. A literate and scholarly amalgamation of probing questions and the search to draw answers from reason, scripture, and the often harsh lessons of history itself.
