Description

"This guide is designed to meet a long felt want by those who travel by motor car or motor cycle, and indeed it should also prove useful to those whose means of locomotion is still the "push bike". Every endeavour has been made to insure that the particulars are absolutely correct, and it can be readily understood that in the compilation of maps and information, considerable expense has been incurred. The information as to where petrol can be obtained and where repairs can be effected should also prove useful." - preface

Includes hints to motorists, government tourism bureaux and resorts, tour routes with maps, places en route, miles between, road surfaces and general descriptions, and advertisements.
