2004年に西オーストラリアの辺境の方に1週間程度行く機会があったのだが、「地球の歩き方」は情報が少なすぎて使い物にならないので、情報収集のために購入。
全288ページ。本の概要は大きく分けて
a) Getting started (p.9〜) モデル旅行ルートや西オーストラリアの概要について書かれています。
b) Perth (p.49〜)
c) Around Perth (p.83〜)
d) The Southwest (p.101〜) Bunbury, Busselton, Margaret River等
e) The South Coast (p.122〜) Albany, Esperance, Cape Le Grand National partk等
f) The Southern Outback (p.142〜) Kalgoorlie-Boulder より西側の西オーストラリア州
g) The Midland (p.158〜) Pinnacles はここ
h) Central West Coast (p.171〜) Geraldton 以北の海外沿い Shark Bay辺りまで
i) Coral Coast & the Pilbara (p.192〜) Coral Bay辺りと The Pilbara
j) The Kimberley (p.214〜)
k) Directory (p.238〜)
a)のPerthの情報は逆に少ないかもしれない。しかし、d) 〜 g) はよく書けてる。 h) の Geraldtonの地図(p.177)の精度はばっちりです。それ以外でも全般的に街の地図の精度は良いと思います。e.x. Albany(p.128)、Esperance(p.139)、Kalgoorlie-Boulder(p.145)。あと道路地図も読みやすいです(西オーストラリアの田舎で道間違えたら大変なことになるから重要です)。レストランガイドはさらっとしてるが、必要な情報は網羅している。途中、ページの端の方についているコラムなども参考になり良質なガイド本と言えると思います。スポーツ好きには、アウトドア&アクティビティーガイド（p.35-39）や(西オーストラリアはワインの産地でもあるので)ワイン好きはワイナリーガイド(p.44-48)などの特集も参考になるかもしれません。何よりも、日本人からすると辺境のような場所の情報をそれなりのボリューム、内容と精度で揃えていることに感服する。※実際の本の購入は最新版を買われた方が良いと思います。
自分は、アジア主要都市(ソウル、台北、香港、バンコク、シンガポール、上海)は歩き方。その他の主要都市はTIME OUT、それ以外のエリアに行くときはLONEY PLANETと、ざっくり大体こんなくくりで旅行ガイド本を使い分けてます。このLONEY PLANET 西オーストラリア版は、自分がロンプラに求めてる多くを提供していると言えます。こういう日本人があまり行かない地域の海外情報はやっぱロンプラ見るのが一番いいと思いました。

immense desolation
2005/2/20
形式:ペーパーバック
As an expatriate Sandgroper, this narrative was quite entrancing. The authors have clearly spent much time traipsing through the vast areas of Western Australia. Arguably, they have seen more of it than many of its locals, who tend to be congegated in the Perth metropolitan area. Thus, somewhat ironically, a ready audience for this book might be people in Perth that wish to get out and see more of Australia's largest state.
Overseas visitors should be cautioned about the book. Even though it does give the size of WA, the sheer immensity and dearth of people may still be surprising. Twice the size of Alaska, and with scarcely 2 million people. Well over half of which are in Perth. The book strives to convey the feeling of desolation once you leave Perth, and you should do well to keep that in mind.

Not upto Scratch
2009/4/11
形式:ペーパーバック
I am a 'foreigner' who has spent a lot of time in Perth and Western Australia. Initially I had a copy of rough guide Australia, but thought it was not detailed enough on Western Australia (purely because of quantity not quality).
This book is simply not upto scratch. My final straw using this book was going to a restaurant in Northam, recommended by this book, which had been shut for several years! If Rough Guide does not cover something, it is because there is no need for it to be covered!
My advice would be to purchase Rough Guide Australia. It covers everything in the depth it needs to be covered.

Room for Improvement
2008/1/9
形式:ペーパーバック
In general, Western Australia still seems to be off the usual tourist path for most outside visitors to Australia, so there wasn't much selection when it came to finding an appropriate guidebook. For the most part, guides seemed to be too broad (covering all of Australia), or too specific (focusing just on Perth). Despite being an absolutely enormous place on its own, few choices seemed to address the state of WA.
We picked this book up out of desperation, but for the most part, it did a decent enough job. In typical Lonely Planet style, there were lots of budget options for food/accommodation and plenty of details on tours and logistics. Most of the information appeared to be accurate, and a few tips proved quite helpful.
My biggest qualm with book is that its layout centers around towns, and in such vast and spread-out areas, a town-by-town approach isn't the most useful. Many of the smaller towns have few attractions or amenities, and nearly all of the must-see destinations (national parks, wineries, caves, capes, coasts, etc) lie in between these small towns.
Finally, despite the extensive use of flowery adjectives, the descriptions of individual sights often remain vague. For some of the national parks especially, the description seems to be just a list of key points copied from a park map or guide, sometimes with no description whatsoever.
In the end, it did prove to be a useful aid to our tour of the southwest and south coast of WA, but we definitely needed to augment it with some of the literature and information from the local tourism agencies. It was certainly better than nothing, but hopefully further research will lead to some improvements in later editions.
One possible alternative is West Coast Australia (Footprint West Coast Australia), which seems to have better descriptions of some of the southwest parks but covers only the western edge of the state.
