Hello all. I am still in the planning stages for my 2+ month trip to Australia next year. I wonder if anyone can help me find a DETAILED, multi-page road atlas of Australia. Michelin doesn't seem to have one and, of course, no retail outlet here in Canada carries anything other than a one-page fold-out sheet of the entire country. Perhaps someone has one that is a year or two out of date and would be willing to part with it. Failing that if someone could direct me to a bookstore or motoring society so that I could buy a new one I would be appreciative.
And while we're here, what about a campground guide......?
Thanks heaps!
And as a footnote, how do you like Canada's chances at the Rugby World Cup? :D

This publishers books and maps are second to none for travelling Aus.

If you're hiring a car in Australia, a GPS map option is well worth the extra few dollars, particularly if you're going to navigate around the major cities. It's still advisable to have a decent road atlas as well though.

I'm bringing my TomTom GPS along with me when I visit next month.

I think you will need a database for Australia which may cost an arm and a leg.

Already have it. It was a bit pricey but I got the TomTom 300 at a really good price. It was refurbished.
