Australian Author: Lee Atkinson
This Ultimate Road Trips: Australia book is a wonderful read by one of Australia's award winning travel writers. Hitting the road is a great way to spend holiday time with family and friends, and Australians have always loved a good road trip. Whether it be a leisurely Sunday drive through wineries or to a beach near a major city, a quick weekend getaway into the mountains or roughing it on a remote outback track. In this book, author Lee Atkinson highlights 40 of the best driving holidays around Australia. Each chapter includes information on things to see and do, detailed route maps and a handy list of distances to help you plan your trip, as well as lots of useful advice on family-friendly attractions, where to eat and the best hotels, guesthouses, caravan parks and camping spots. You’ll also find details on the best time of year to visit, driving tips and a guide to surviving a road trip with a back seat full of kids. Ultimate Road Trips Australia is a great book to keep in the car for when you’re out on the road, or curl up with it at home and dream about your next journey.

Incorrect Addresses and Redelivery
Country Culture is more than happy to redeliver an order if it is returned to us (usually due to an incorrect address, or if no one was able to receive it). However, to save time and hassle and avoid delays, please check beforehand that the address you elect to ship to is the correct one.
If we have to redeliver an item, we will need to charge a re-delivery fee of $25.00 for all Australian deliveries. This includes a Return-To-Sender fee as well as the cost of resending the parcel out again via Australia Post. For orders that qualified for free shipping, we will unfortunately have to charge you this fee, as complimentary shipping only covers the first instance of shipping.
Please be aware that Country Culture is not responsible for any lost or stolen packages, as well as any extra fees or charges incurred whilst entering into another country.
If you are purchasing a bulk corporate order, we will send you a quote for shipping, and payment will need to be received before dispatch.
If your orders do not arrive at their intended destination after two weeks, please notify us at [email protected].
