this is, and how far you can get in australia in 30 days.

im not going there or anything, but its a nice dream for
me to maintain, during my next 2 and a half years nurse
training.

I have a copy - seems good (I can only compare with
experience of using LP France) - we're planning to go to Oz
at the end of the year to stay with some friends and had a
vague notion of doing a bit of cycling, hence buying the Oz
LP (although I got it for 2 quid on ebay)

I cycled around Tasmania, excellent - well recommended. I
didn't do much cycling in the rest of Aus. though as I was
jaded after crosssing the USA, NZ and it was too flaming hot
most of the time.

We've got it, and the France one. IMHO some of the rides in
it are a bit heavy-going if you're touring with full
camping gear and a trailer full of kids. I haven't looked
at it for 6 months, but I have this nagging thought that
also some of the suggested routes would be a little heavy
on the car traffic... There was a nice one out of
Gloucester (NSW) though.

I quite liked the background information in the LP France
one, but we found the routing information to be too precise,
and we didn't want to be on such a fixed path.

How fast do you ride 😉

It's nice this time of year, the heat of summer has finally
passed (was a bit hot yesterday though)
