P lanning an Aussie road trip this summer? Don’t know how you are going to afford it? Australia Free 3 can help. This book is the result of 7 years of independent travel and research by author Mike Koch, and is the latest edition of Australia’s best guide on fun travel in Australia on a budget. Other books simply show you where to rest up or camp: half of Australia Free’s content is actually about making the best use of your time once you get there. Or, if apps are more your thing, there is a recently updated Australia Free app available on iTunes or Google Play for only $5.99, which will save many headaches caused by “What- can-we-do-now-I’m-bored?” syndrome. Listed, with photographs, are hundreds of free-access swimming spots, waterfalls and beaches, hundreds of free-to-enter museums, hundreds of free-access walks and lookouts, hundreds of free-access parks, gardens and opportunities for wildlife interaction, plus over 1500 of the best free roadside rest areas and camping spots. This guide is so easy to use - arrive anywhere, find it on the map and refer to the dots that are all the things to see and do all around that area. No need to collect two hundred brochures or for everyone to be buried in their phones trying to figure out what to do. Just see it on the map and do it. This book is perfect for young families or older retirees on their great Aussie road trips, or of course backpackers looking to see what this amazing country has to offer without blowing their limited budget! All states are covered and many are hidden spots that only the locals know. This hardcover, spiral bound, 460 page book is in all good bookstores and online at Booktopia www.booktopia.com.au for $55 RRP. 1,500 Free Things to Do and See on your Summer Aussie Road Trip
