Eugene Fodor is known to be a keen traveler. According to wiki he is the world’s largest publisher of English language travel and tourism information, and the first relatively professional producer of travel guidebooks.
Now this is a shame, only 1 listing from the whole of Australia. I would have thought we might have made a couple more? Shame really as it just means someone might miss out on some of the best accommodation ever in the most amazing locations.
