My Mum and my Aunt are heading over to Australia for three weeks at Christmas to see family, so I thought for a Christmas present I'd make them a travel journal that they could take with them and stick stuff in, write in, put pictures in etc as they go along.
It's going to be a leather bound book (I'll do that myself) but I'm looking for inspiration for things I'm going to print on a few of the pages.
Every now and again I'm going to put a cute little animal picture of something of an animal native to Oz, but I also want to include a couple of quotes, some trivia that sort of thing as well as useful stuff. I plan on putting a map in there, but what else would be useful to a traveler?

They're staying with family in Queensland somewhere. I think I might have a lonely planet guide that has an Australia section so I might raid that! | |

That's a really lovely idea! I may have to borrow that at some point. One of God's own prototypes, a high powered mutant of some kind, never considered for mass production. Too weird to live, too rare to die. | |

Be warned, bookbinding seems to be an addictive and expensive hobby! | |

Essential phone numbers? International codes, directory enquiries, family and friends, airports, emergency services. Somewhere to keep photocopies of their travel documents? http://www.avaaz.org/en/ |
