As the horror of violence, rape, and murder of Jews in Israel by Hamas terrorists unfolded this past week I was astonished—and sickened—to hear the “whataboutism” and “bothsideism” response of many commentators and activists on the political Left that sounded eerily similar to the moral equivalency arguments I encountered when researching my book Denying History, on “who says the Holocaust never happened and why do they say it?” (co-authored with Alex Grobman). To be fair, some commentators on the political Right have used their platforms to blame Joe Biden for enabling or emboldening Iran to back Hamas terrorism—as Ted Cruz did on Megyn Kelly’s show—but at least the Right has the moral clarity to distinguish between genocide and complex political issues such as instituting a Two-State solution to the the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

By contrast, the progressive Left (a term I use to distinguish them from more mainstream center-left liberals and classical liberals) seems hopelessly adrift at sea without a moral compass. As I posted on X, what’s the difference between White supremacists at the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia chanting "Jews will not replace us" and “You will not replace us” and Palestinian Supremacists at a rally in Sydney, Australia celebrating the Hamas murder of Jews chanting "Gas the Jews" and “Fuck the Jews”? If you go far enough to the Left you end up on the far end of the Right. (This is called the horseshoe theory, in which the far Left and the far Right are actually close in ideology at the two ends of the bent political spectrum.)

In another post on X I declared that it is not fair to compare Hamas to Nazis (which some on the Right are doing)—not fair to the Nazis I meant! Why? Because at least the Nazis knew that the orchestrated extermination of European Jewry was wrong and would be condemned by other nations. That’s why the Nazis murdered most of the Jews (and others) in secret, mostly in isolated death camps in Eastern Europe and Poland, such as Auschwitz, Majdanek, Treblinka, Sobibor, Chelmno, and Belzec. That’s why the paramilitary Schutzstaffel (SS) Einsatzgruppen death squads responsible for mass murder, primarily by shooting, was conducted far from the prying eyes of German citizens in Nazi occupied territories to the East. That’s why the Wannsee Protocol, like that of most Nazi documents in dealing with the “Jewish question,” is obfuscated by innocuous-sounding jargon, such as:

action, special action, large-scale action, reprisal action, pacification action, radical action, cleaning-up or cleansing action, cleared or cleared of Jews, freeing the area of Jews, Jewish problem solved, handled appropriately, handled according to orders, liquidated, over-hauling, rendered harmless, ruthless collection measures, severe measures, special treatment or special measures, executive tasks, elimination, evacuation, eradication, relocation, and, of course, Final Solution (Endlösung).

That’s why this letter from Heinrich Himmler to Ernst Kaltenbrunner, who succeeded Reinhard Heydrich as chief of security police and SD after Heydrich’s assassination, is declared to be “Top Secret!”:

Reichsfuhrer-SS Field HQ April 9, 1943 Top Secret! To the Chief of the Security Police and SD Berlin: I have received the Inspector of Statistics’ report on the Final Solution of the Jewish Question. I consider this report well executed for purposes of camouflage and potentially useful for later times. For the moment, it can neither be published nor can anyone be allowed sight of it. The most important for me remains that whatever remains of Jews is shipped East. All I want to be told as of now by the Security Police, very briefly, is what has been shipped and what, at any points, is still left of Jews. Hh

That’s why at war's end the Nazis covered over their crimes, burned documents, destroyed the crematoria and gas chambers, and denied any wrong doing after. And that’s why throughout the 1930s the Nazis went to great lengths to change German law to later justify their actions as legal, under the pretense that if they lost the war they could argue—which they did at the Nuremberg war-crime trials—that national sovereignty precludes one nation judging the actions of members of another nation whose laws differed at the time. That defense didn’t fly and the murderers were brought to justice.

By contrast, far from denying their crimes, for the past week Hamas has been bragging about murdering Jews, posting videos on social media and declaring "Allahu Akbar" (God is Great). Worse, many on the progressive Left in the United States have been condemning…Israel! At The Free Press Bari Weiss has compiled a list of examples that reveal, in her words, “the rot inside our universities”:

Over 30 student groups at Harvard said of the 1,200 Israelis who have been slaughtered that “The apartheid regime is the only one to blame.”

A joint statement from Columbia University’s Palestine Solidarity groups wrote “we remind Columbia students that the Palestinian struggle for freedom is rooted in international law, under which occupied peoples have the right to resist the occupation of their land.”

Northwestern University’s Middle Eastern and North African Student Association “grieves for the martyrs and the civilians lost in this time.”

A student group at California State University in Long Beach advertised its “Day of Resistance: Protest for Palestine” event on Tuesday with a poster that showed a crowd waving the Palestinian flag and a Hamas paraglider—a symbol of mass murder—in the top corner.

At Stanford, hand-painted signs appeared on buildings declaring: “The Israeli occupation is NOTHING BUT AN ILLUSION OF DUST.” (In The Stanford Review, Free Press intern Julia Steinberg wrote that, on Instagram, “my classmates posted infographics declaring that, ‘from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.’ ”)

Students for Justice in Palestine at the University of Virginia declared on Sunday that “The events that took place yesterday are a step towards a free Palestine.”

To be blunt, these people are genocide deniers, almost indistinguishable from the Holocaust deniers I encountered and debunked over twenty years ago. Here is what we wrote in Denying History about the moral equivalency argument and why it is not just wrong but morally obscene:

Ironically, after denying that the Nazis intended to exterminate the Jews, deniers argue that what the Nazis did to the Jews is really no different from what other nations do to their perceived enemies. David Irving, for example, points out that the U.S. government obliterated two Japanese cities and their civilian populations with atomic weapons—the only government in history to do so. Furthermore, Mark Weber notes, Americans concentrated Japanese Americans in camps, much as Germans did to their perceived internal enemy—the Jews. These examples and others, such as Irving’s citation of the mass bombing of Dresden, have a not-so-hidden agenda: to implicate America and Britain as equally guilty, along with Germany, in the mass destruction of the Second World War.

But what is missing in this comparison? First, there is a big difference between two nations fighting one another, both using trained soldiers, and the systematic, state-organized killing of unarmed, unsuspecting people—not in self-defense, not to gain territory or wealth (although these may accrue as a beneficial by-product), but because of anti-Semitism. Scholars and the general public debate the morality of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the internment of Japanese Americans in concentration camps, and the mass bombing of Dresden. But historians do not try to equate these actions with the Holocaust. If we take the mass bombing of Dresden, for instance—although it was admittedly one of the worst acts against the Axis powers by the Allies, it resulted in about 35,000 deaths, not the 250,000 first claimed by the Germans (Goebbles exaggerated the number for propaganda purposes), and nowhere near the 6 million of the Holocaust.

At his trial in Jerusalem Adolf Eichmann, SS-Obersturmbannfuhrer of the Reich Security Main Office and one of the chief planners and organizers of the Final solution, tried to make the moral equivalency argument. The judge, however, did not accept his rationalizations, as this sequence from the trial transcript shows (and let this serve as a refutation of today’s claim for the moral equivalency of Hamas and Israel):

Judge Benjamin Halevi to Eichmann: You have often compared the extermination of the Jews with the bombing raids on German cities and you compared the murder of Jewish women and children with the death of German women in aerial bombardments. Surely it must be clear to you that there is a basic distinction between these two things. On the one hand the bombing is used as an instrument of forcing the enemy to surrender. Just as the Germans tried to force the British to surrender by their bombing. In that case it is a war objective to bring an armed enemy to his knees. On the other hand, when you take unarmed Jewish men, women, and children from their homes, hand then over to the Gestapo, and then send the to Auschwitz for extermination it is an entirely different thing, is it not?

Eichmann: The difference is enormous. But at that time these crimes had been legalized by the state and the responsibility, therefore, belongs to those who issued the orders.

Judge Halevi: But you must know surely that there are internationally recognized Laws and Customs of War whereby the civilian population is protected from actions which are not essential for the prosecution of the war itself.

Eichmann: Yes, I am aware of that.

Judge Halevi: Did you never feel a conflict of loyalties between your duty and your conscience?

Eichmann: I suppose one could call it an internal split. It was a personal dilemma when one swayed from one extreme to the other.

Judge Halevi: One had to overlook and forget one’s conscience.

Eichmann: Yes, one could put it that way.

In assessing the initial response to the rape, torture, and murder of Jews in Israel by Hamas this week I can only conclude that the progressive Left denouncing Israel and celebrating Hamas have had to overlook and forget their moral conscience.

Hey. I was wondering what your favourite books about OTMA/The Romanovs are? I have read quite a few and I’m looking for new recommendations. I love your posts btw :)

Hiya! Thanks for your question.

As you said you have read quite a few books about the Romanovs and want new recommendations, I'll try and think of some of the less common/more obscure books I've read, which I don't see talked about too much!

Once a Grand Duchess by John van der Kiste and Coryne Hall

Admittedly, this book sometimes reads like a long wikipedia page, but has some very interesting information on Xenia Alexandrovna. If you are interesting in the British royal family and their history, the second half of the book has some great info on Xenia's stay at Frogmore Cottage and Hampton Court

The False Anastasia by Pierre Gilliard and Constantine Savitch

Written half by Gilliard and half by Savitch, it combines some of Pierre Gilliard's memories of Anastasia and the Romanovs with debunking the Anna Anderson myth. Some great work here on Anderson's actual identity. However, I will warn you straight away that if you do get this book in its English translation, the translator Edgar A. Lucidi is VERY antisemitic. Throughout the book, he goes to great pains to try and say that Anastasia survived, and has a whole preface about it, including photos of him posing with a pretender. It's frustrating and insulting, especially when he makes actual notes in the text trying to 'debunk' Gilliard and Savitch's writing. I'm recommending this book purely because of what Pierre Gilliard and Constantine Savitch have written, which is very interesting and revealing. If you can read French (I definitely can't!) it's worth getting the original.

Tutor to the Tsarevich by John C. Trewin and Charles Sydney Gibbes

This book is FANTASTIC and really underrated! It's more of a coffee table format, with plenty of photos, but has some really fantastic information. It has a lot of Gibbes' original writings and reflections, published for the first time I believe. Some great anecdotes about Tobolsk and some rare photos of Gibbes and his life after the Romanovs.

The Romanovs & Mr Gibbes: The Story of the Englishman Who Taught the Children of the Last Tsar by Frances Welsh

This book focusses on the life of Charles Sydney Gibbes, later known as Father Nicholas, who was the English tutor to the children. Although it is definitely not as good as Tutor to the Tsarevich, it provides an interesting picture of Gibbes' life. It's quite short, and focusses a lot more on Gibbes than the Romanovs, but is worth a read if you're interested in the tutors of OTMAA.

A Few Years Before the Catastrophe by Sofia Ivanovna Tyutcheva, translated by George Hawkins

This book is *TINY* so you might be better served getting the online kindle edition rather than actually buying it. Sofia, or 'Savanna' as OTMA called her, was a nanny to the children from 1906-1912, before being dismissed by Alix for disagreements over Rasputin and the raising of the children. As I said, the book itself is very short, but paints an interesting picture especially of Ernst of Hesse and Nicholas' personalities. There are some fun anecdotes about OTMA, but not too many. The reason I recommend this book is because I am currently reading Anna Vyrubova's memoirs and she goes on a four page rant about poor Savanna, saying that she was a traitor and sold out Nicky and Alix. Reading Savanna's recollections almost entirely prove this wrong.

The Camera and the Tsars: The Romanov Family in Photographs by Charlotte Zeepvat

This book is BEAUTIFUL! Anything Charlotte Zeepvat writes is worth buying in my opinion. But this book especially... *chef's kiss*. It has so much detail about the whole of the Romanov family, and is mainly in picture form with detailed captions and text too. The photos are high quality. A great overview of the whole of the Romanov family and its many branches.

The Grand Duchesses: Daughters & Granddaughters of Russia's Last Tsars

This book is comprised of multiple different biographies about Romanov Grand Duchesses and princesses over a span of about 200 years. It is very unique in focussing entirely on the women in the Romanov family. There are a couple of errors in it, but nothing too awful. Great if you want to dive in and learn about some of the Grand Duchesses that came before (and after) OTMA.

‘After that we wrote.’: A Reconsideration of the Lives of Olga, Tatiana, Maria, and Anastasia Nikolaevna Romanova, 1895-1918 by Althea Thompson

The last recommendation isn't a book, but a thesis written for their Master's Degree, and focusses entirely on OTMA. It's fascinating, with plenty of great sources sprinkled in. It looks to re-examine how historians have viewed OTMA and aims to create an accurate picture of their daily lives. It's a long academic read, but has fantastic information. You can read it here.

I hope this was helpful! I probably missed out some great gems, but these are the first ones that come to mind which are less common :)

Further, that complex of memories, moods, and feelings, joined to a particular body (the human body), which is called the "I" or "Ego," manifests itself as relatively permanent. I may be engaged upon this or that subject, I may be quiet and cheerful, excited and ill-humoured. Yet, pathological cases apart, enough durable features remain to identify the ego. Of course, the ego also is only of relative permanency.

The apparent permanency of the ego consists chiefly in the single fact of its continuity, in the slowness of its changes. The many thoughts and plans of yesterday that are continued today, and of which our environment in waking hours incessantly reminds us (whence in dreams the ego can be very indistinct, doubled, or entirely wanting), and the little habits that are unconsciously and involuntarily kept up for long periods of time, constitute the groundwork of the ego. There can hardly be greater differences in the egos of different people, than occur in the course of years in one person. When I recall today my early youth, I should take the boy that I then was, with the exception of a few individual features, for a different person, were it not for the existence of the chain of memories. Many an article that I myself penned twenty years ago impresses me now as something quite foreign to myself. The very gradual character of the changes of the body also contributes to the stability of the ego, but in a much less degree than people imagine. Such things are much less analysed and noticed than the intellectual and the moral ego. Personally, people know themselves very poorly.

— Ernst Mach, “The Analysis of Sensations” (trans. C. M. Williams, Sydney Waterlow)

YES LAD thanks for your enthusiasm! The inspiration is a notorious character on the sydney gay scene who used to get up to no good in the bathrooms around town including at the Hordern Pavillion (incidentally that's where Louis' gig was last year)

"In the old days at the showground parties, you'd go into the toilets and someone would always twist off the neon lights, you'd get there and it would be really dark," says artist Gareth Ernst.

"You'd just hear sounds, you'd get to the urinal, and there'd be this body in front of you rolling around, wanting you to piss on him.

"He was kind of nameless and a little bit mysterious … he never said a word."

Der Sydney Bridge Climb ist eine der berühmtesten Aktivitäten Australiens – aber ist es die Kosten und Mühen wert? Wir haben einigen Overalls getrotzt, um es herauszufinden Der Sydney Bridge Climb ist nicht zuletzt eine Lektion in purer Kraft. Als sein Schöpfer, Paul Cave, zum ersten Mal Vorschläge für den Aufstieg machte, antworteten die Aufsichtsbehörden mit einer Liste von über 60 Gründen, warum es einfach nicht möglich war. Caves vorgeschlagene blaue Anzüge würden die Fahrer ablenken, sagten sie. Herunterfallende Gegenstände würden Unfälle verursachen, und Kletterer würden stürzen und sich verletzen. Die Liste ging weiter. Cave war keiner, der eine Niederlage akzeptierte, und machte sich daran, jedes Problem systematisch zu untersuchen und auszuräumen. Die blauen Anzüge wurden grau gemacht, um die Fahrer nicht abzulenken; Kletterer wurden in Overalls gesteckt, um zu verhindern, dass Gegenstände herunterfallen; und Sicherheitsgurte wurden hinzugefügt, um Kletterer festzuhalten. Am Ende dauerte der Sydney Bridge Climb vom Konzept bis zum Start länger als der Bau der Brücke selbst. „Ich hatte einen Zweijahres-Businessplan und es dauerte 10 Jahre“, bemerkte Cave ironisch. Atlas & Boots Kletterer sind jederzeit an der Brücke befestigt Die Sydney Harbour Bridge selbst wurde über neun Jahre gebaut, vom ersten Spatenstich im Juli 1923 bis zu ihrer Eröffnung am 19. März 1932. Heute ist sie 1.149 m lang und 134 m hoch. 52.800 Tonnen wiegt das Stahlwerk, das mit rund sechs Millionen Nieten verschraubt ist. Seltsamerweise wurde von den 16 Todesfällen während des Baus nur einer durch einen Sturz von der Brücke verursacht. Es gab einen zweiten Sturz, aber der fragliche glückliche Ire traf zuerst die Wasserfüße und kam mit ein oder zwei gebrochenen Rippen davon. Heutzutage ist die Sicherheit von größter Bedeutung und Kletterer sind jederzeit an der Brücke befestigt. Alle Habseligkeiten, einschließlich Telefone und Kameras, müssen vorher in einem Schließfach verstaut werden, mit Ausnahme von Sonnenbrillen, die an den Kletteranzügen befestigt werden. Alles andere liefert der Aufstieg. Mützen, Handschuhe, Fleece, Regenkleidung und sogar Taschentücher werden aufgesteckt, um zu verhindern, dass Gegenstände auf die darunter liegenden Autos fallen. Wir bekamen eine Sondererlaubnis zum Mitführen einer kleinen Kamera, die natürlich nach Prüfung und Abzeichnung durch einen Vorgesetzten angesteckt wurde. Nochmals: Sicherheit wird sehr, sehr ernst genommen. Wir brachen von unserem Hotel, Mantra on Kent, auf und kamen 15 Minuten vor unserem geplanten Aufstieg am Sydney Bridge Climb-Büro an. Dort checkten wir ein, unterschrieben unsere Verzichtserklärungen und zogen unsere Overalls an, wobei wir alle losen Gegenstände in einem Schließfach ließen. Den Sydney Bridge Climb gibt es in verschiedenen Varianten: Dawn, Day, Twilight oder Night. Die häufigste Wahl ist ein Tagesaufstieg, der selbst mehrere Optionen hat. Der klassische BridgeClimb dauert 3h 30m und verfolgt eine Route entlang des berühmten Brückenbogens. Dieser Aufstieg hat 1.332 Stufen und ist die bessere Option für nervöse Kletterer, da er mehr Unterstützung von Kletterführern bietet. Der BridgeClimb Express dauert 2 Stunden 15 Minuten und ist für „unabhängig denkende Leute gedacht, die es schnell nach oben schaffen wollen“. Mit 1.002 Stufen führt er Kletterer nicht entlang des Brückenbogens, sondern durch die Eingeweide, um eine der größten Hängebrücken der Welt aus der Nähe zu betrachten. Wir entschieden uns für den Express und machten uns mit unserem Kletterführer über den „Catwalk“ auf den Weg. Hier haben nervöse Kletterer am meisten zu kämpfen. Unter dem Metallgeflecht ist der Verkehrslärm deutlich zu erkennen, was nervöse Seelen manchmal überfordert. Die meisten Kletterer finden den Sydney Bridge Climb einfacher als befürchtet Die meisten Menschen halten durch und stellen fest, dass der Sydney Bridge Climb nicht so anstrengend ist, wie sie befürchtet hatten.

Es gibt keine Leitern oder Seile. Stattdessen gehen die Teilnehmer Stufen hinauf, von denen die meisten flach sind und von Rampen und horizontalen Laufstegen unterbrochen werden. Es gibt auch viele Haltestellen, an denen Sie innehalten und Ihrem Kletterführer zuhören können, der Geschichten über die Brücke und ihre vielen berühmten Besucher erzählt. Der Sydney Bridge Climb hat im Laufe der Jahre eine Vielzahl von Prominenten angezogen. Wir werden unseren Kletterführer nicht nennen und beschämen, aber wir werden sagen, dass er trotz Besuchern wie Oprah Winfrey, Robert De Niro, Paul McCartney und Kylie Minogue am meisten begeistert war, PC Tony Stamp an die Spitze zu führen! Atlas & Boots Die Aussicht vom Sydney Bridge Climb Die Sydney Harbour Bridge war auch Gastgeber für über 4.000 Anträge und ein paar Dutzend Hochzeiten (ja, Sie können darauf heiraten!). Bei unserem Aufstieg gab es solche Spielereien nicht. Stattdessen verfolgten wir unseren Weg nach oben, vorbei an großen Trägern und Pylonen, endlosen Reihen von Nieten und schwindelerregenden Aussichtspunkten über den rauschenden Verkehr. Dort fanden wir eine der besten Aussichten in ganz Sydney. Das Sydney Opera House und der berühmte Hafen lagen auf der einen Seite, während sich die Stadt auf der anderen Seite ausbreitete. Wir machten ein paar übliche Fotos, einschließlich ungeschickter Posen mit erhobenem Daumen und gespreizten Armen („Briten haben immer damit zu kämpfen“, bemerkte unser Kletterführer amüsiert). Natürlich haben wir die natürlichste Variante bevorzugt. Atlas & Boots Oben auf der Sydney Harbour Bridge Also – hat sich der Sydney Bridge Climb alles in allem gelohnt? Es ist nicht zu leugnen, dass die Preise happig sind ($303 AUD / $230 USD pro Person plus mehr für Fotos). Vor der Ankunft im Land haben wir uns sicherlich über die Preise geärgert, aber wir haben schnell gemerkt, dass in Australien alles teuer ist. Der Sydney Bridge Climb ist eines der bekanntesten Dinge, die Sie im Land tun können, und allein aus diesem Grund lohnt es sich. Adrenalin-Junkies werden durch den Aufstieg nicht auf die Probe gestellt, aber die schiere Einzigartigkeit des Erlebnisses, kombiniert mit den Erkenntnissen der Kletterführer und dem daraus resultierenden Blick auf den Hafen, macht den Sydney Bridge Climb die Kosten und Mühen wert. Wie ich in den Lektionen gesagt habe, die ich auf Reisen um die Welt gelernt habe, gib im Zweifelsfall das Geld aus. In einem Jahr werden Sie sich wahrscheinlich nicht mehr an die Kosten erinnern, aber Sie werden sich an die Erfahrung erinnern. Das verspreche ich dir. Sydney Bridge Climb: das Wesentliche Was: Der Sydney Bridge Climb in Sydney, Australien. Wo: Wir teilen unsere Zeit in Sydney zwischen Mantra 2 Bond Street und Mantra on Kent auf, die beide Unterkünfte im Apartmentstil in exzellenter Lage bieten. Vom Mantra 2 Bond Street in Sydneys CBD (Central Business District) erreichen Sie die wichtigsten Sehenswürdigkeiten der Stadt bequem zu Fuß. Das Sydney Opera House und die Sydney Harbour Bridge sind 15 Gehminuten entfernt, während Circular Quay und The Rocks in nur 10 Minuten erreicht werden können. Der Bahnhof Wynyard ist zwei Minuten entfernt und somit ein ausgezeichneter Ausgangspunkt, um Sydneys Sehenswürdigkeiten zu erkunden. Die Apartments selbst sind stilvoll und äußerst komfortabel. Die Executive-Studio-Apartments erstrecken sich über 2 Ebenen und sind offen gestaltet und verfügen über eine abgesenkte Lounge, ein Marmorbad und eine voll ausgestattete Küche – falls Sie gerne kochen! Ein Dachpool und ein Spa sowie ein Lobby-Café und eine Bar vervollständigen die hervorragende Ausstattung des Hotels. Mantra on Kent ist weniger opulent, aber genauso bequem. Unser modernes Apartment mit einem Schlafzimmer bot einen weiten Blick über die Stadt und einfachen Zugang zum fünf Minuten entfernten Darling Harbour sowie zum zehn Minuten entfernten Chinatown. Das stilvolle Hotel verfügt über ein hauseigenes Restaurant, Tagungsräume und eine 24-Stunden-Rezeption.

Alle Apartments bieten WLAN sowie Küchen- und Wäschemöglichkeiten. Mit der 100 Meter entfernten Station Town Hall und den Parkplätzen von Wilson (gegen Gebühr) ist das Mantra on Kent eine bequeme und bequeme Möglichkeit, Sydney und Umgebung zu erkunden. Mantra Hotels bieten Unterkünfte im ganzen Land an – eine sichere Wahl für komfortable Unterkünfte in exzellenten Lagen. Atlas & Boots Wann: Die beste Reisezeit für Sydney ist von September bis November und von März bis Mai. Dies vermeidet die Hochsaison von Dezember bis Februar und bietet angenehme Temperaturen mit überschaubaren Menschenmassen. Wie: Buchen Sie einen Aufstieg über die Sydney Bridge Climb-Website. Die Büros befinden sich in zentraler Lage in Sydney, nur wenige Gehminuten von den meisten CBD-Hotels entfernt. Gehen Sie die Checkliste vor dem Aufstieg einige Tage vor dem Aufstieg durch und versuchen Sie, 15 Minuten vor Ihrem Aufstieg anzukommen. Buchen Sie Inlands- oder Auslandsflüge nach Sydney über Skyscanner zu den besten Preisen. Australien ist ein riesiges Land. Wenn du die Planung lieber abgeben möchtest, empfehlen wir G Adventures und ihre Kleingruppen-Australien-Touren. Lonely Planet Australia ist ein umfassender Reiseführer für das Land, ideal für diejenigen, die sowohl die wichtigsten Sehenswürdigkeiten erkunden als auch weniger befahrene Straßen nehmen möchten.
