5 out of 5 stars New Edition.......2001-06-19

This book is NOT out of print and never has been as far as I know. The 6th edition (now with full colour maps) has only recently been published although I have only "used" the 4-colour 5th edition.

This book is justifiably known as the "bible" for boaters in the Whitsunday area of the Queensland mid-north coast. This book is SO good that it is mandatory equipment on board every charter yacht operating in the Whitsundays! Boaters use this book instead of official charts because it contains so much more information than any ordinary navigation chart.

I spent 10 days on a charter yacht last year in the Whitsundays and found that I could not live without referring to this book AT LEAST every hour.

There are so many islands, reefs, channels, currents, inlets, anchorages, etc. in the Whitsundays that any boater would be mad not to be extremely careful about where and when they go and in what weather conditions. As well, there are so many beautiful places to go that appeal to different people, that advice on choices is always needed.

"100 Magic Miles.." satisfies all these needs and more. It has large scale easy to read maps with excellent advice and descriptions of all significant navigational issues such as wind, tidal effects, reefs, shoals, navigation markers and so on. It provides advice on which anchourages are best in which conditions. It provides information on health and safety issues such as poisonous fish and how to treat coral cuts. It provides aerial photos of all areas so you can actually see what they look like before you get there (or recognise them when you do). It provides information on fishing, including where to fish (and not to) and photos to identify your catch. It provides historical information about the Whitsundays. It provides "travel" advice about all the points on interest, in most cases including photos. It provides information about the ecology of the Great Barrier Reef and the heritage-listed Marine National Park.

This book is so great, I bought my own copy and still pick it up and read it occasionally.

4 out of 5 stars The Whitsunday Islands Sailing Bible.......1999-08-11

I've purchased this book in preparation of a sailing vacation around the Whitsunday Islands. A group of small islands which lie next to the Great Barrier Reef off Australia's North East Coast.

It has a mileading title. It isn't a book about the Barrier Reef which lies east of the Whitsundays. It's a book about sailing around one of Australia's jewels, the Whitsundays.

This book is provided as standard issue by bareboat charter companies in the area. Over 100 pages are devoted to achorages.

I recommend it, if you are interested in the Whitsundays. A must have, if you plan to sail there.

Book Description

Admit it: you're here for the beaches, aren't you? Sure, we all know that Queensland's also got great dining, a thriving, accessible indigenous culture and a healthy international vibe. But it's the sun-kissed beaches, gentle warm sea and coral reef you're really here for, isn't it?

• GET WET - don scuba or snorkel gear and head beneath the waves to check out the Great Barrier Reef's colorful scenes

• GET BRONZED on some of Australia's finest sun-kissed beaches in between dips in clear, warm waters to cool off

• GET SCARED - whether dangling on the end of a bungy rope, leaping our of a plane or checking out a crocodile farm

• GET STUFFED - fill your face with fresh seafood at a posh Noosa eatery, sample eclectic international fare at Cairn's restaurants, or enjoy cafe lattes and live music streetside in Brisbane

1 out of 5 stars Almost completely useless.......2007-01-10

My husband and I like travelling. We are used to Lonely Planet series.
But this one has been almost completely useless. We are always careful to get the most up-to-date version, and if it hasn't been updated in the last two years we definitively don't rely on it alone, only as background information.
On the inside of the cover, it is said this 2006 version has been lately reviewed. However EVERYTHING except some addresses were out of date.
Furthermore the guidebook doesn't provide a lot of information or description as we were used when using Lonely Planet guidebooks for our travelling in Asia.
We got much more and for free at the Tourist Information Office, which address it is true we had found in the Lonely Planet guidebook. But even the address of the Cairns' QWSP Office(Queensland Wildlife Bureau, where you can get park permits) was wrong. The cost of living, including restaurant were all wrong. It is NOT true that vacation is cheap there. It is definitively more expensive than the US. Indeed Queensland has learnt the value of the Great Barrier, and how much money they can get for it from the tourism. It is a real business.
Saying that we enjoyed very much our time there: people are nice (I love their humour), landscape and 'seascape'were marvellous, food expensive but very fresh and tasty, especially seafood. It was just a pity we had to be careful over our spending because we didn't expect and so plan the local expenses.

To come back to Lonely Planet guidebooks, it is the second one in few months that has disappointed us. The first one was on Kauai Island, Hawaii. May be we should only consider Lonely Planet for Asia and Latin America destinations.

I live in Utila in the Bay Islands in Honduras and i see many people arriving with this book in their hand and all of them tell me that they use it all of the time and it is an invaluable source of information.

    Book Description

    Australia's Great Barrier Reef is the only living structure on Earth visible from the moon; at 348,700 square kilometers (238,899 square miles), it's bigger than the United Kingdom. It stretches over 2,000 kilometers (1,250 miles) and is home to some 1,500 kinds of fish, 400 species of corals, 4,000 kinds of clams and snails, and who knows how many sponges, worms, starfish, and sea urchins. In short, the Great Barrier Reef is the Eighth Wonder of the World.

    Frommer's Portable Australia's Great Barrier Reef gives you the lowdown on some of the best sites to snorkel and dive this magnificent piece of nature and tips on how to make the most of your experience. We tell you about the top dive and snorkel sites, as well as some remote beauties that are rarely explored by travelers. We walk you through everything from how to choose a gateway to the Reef to how to pick a dive course. We recommend the best boats for exploring the Reef, from day-trip vessels to dedicated live-aboard dive boats. We tell you about some of the wonderful creatures you will see (and the few scary ones to avoid!). We recommend places to stay, from inexpensive B&B's to glamorous Great Barrier Reef island resorts. And recognizing that even die-hard snorkelers and divers want to take a break from fishes once in a while, we cover the best stuff to do on dry land, such as taking a four-wheel drive safari into World Heritage-listed rain forest or visiting a to turtle rookery.

      3 out of 5 stars Here is the Coral Reef.......2005-10-16

      Purchased this to replace the one we lost from the public library. Kids liked it and it helped them learn the reef life. Mom went a little crazy with all the repetition.

      4 out of 5 stars Here is the Perfect Kids' Book Series!.......1999-02-03

      Not only does my niece love this book, I'm quite fond of the series, too! The illustrations are detailed and painstakingly accurate, but the real treasure is Dunphy's language. The motif may seem simple, but it actively tunes in a child's curiosity, making her or him eager to turn the page and see what's next.

      5 out of 5 stars Excellent for teaching about ecological systems, fun!.......1999-01-18

      I really enjoy Madeleine Dunphy's "Here is the Coral Reef," as I do all of her other "Here is..." books (rainforest, arctic winter, southwestern desert, and wetlands). "Here is the Coral Reef" provides parents a fun, colorful medium for teaching children about the coral reef ecosystem. The cumulative verse format is an elegant way to teach about the interconnections between all life. The illustrations are gloriously bright, with just enough action to keep the kids going, but nothing gory. The story grows incrementally with each page, tracing the unseen threads of biological systems, and culminating in a montage of its reef-dwelling characters. Kids seem to like the repetition...but any parent knows how much children enjoy repeating their favorite stories, songs or videos over and over and over! I would highly recommend this subtle yet effective book for parents and educators (*****).

      5 out of 5 stars Brings Australia's Great Barrier Reef to life for young readers ages 6 to 11.......2005-07-06

      Superbly pictured in marvelous and colorful detail by Robin Brickman's cut-paper illustrations, One Night In The Coral Sea by science writer Sneed B. Collard III brings Australia's Great Barrier Reef to life for young readers ages 6 to 11. It is a night in the late spring just after the full moon and something is occurring that only happens once a year. Dozens of coral species simultaneously release thousands, millions, trillions of eggs and sperm into the sea. These then form new coral polyps that will settle onto the coral reef and form new colonies, extending the reach of the reef along the Australian coast. Enthusiastically recommended for both school and community library collections, One Night In The Coral Sea is an entertaining as it is informative.

      This guide is a quick reference for lots of interesting places to dive in Texas. It provides a nice table at the beginning of each entry giving depth, visibility, water conditions, ease of entry, nearest place to get tanks refilled and suggested dive ability.

      Color pictures, both in and out of the water, are provided for practically every dive site listed.

      On the strength of this guide, I'll be buying guides from the same publisher to other dive destinations.

      This guide is usefull if you're devoting lot of time to queesland and the great barrier reef. Its best companion is the Lonely Planet Queensland guide (perhaps it's too much information).
      But as I'm concerned, Lonely Planet is not doing anymore this guide (and this version is quite old, so it may be not updated).
