What these are

The same words as the website, in one file

Each guide is the chapters from this site set as an A4 document with its photographs, a cover and page numbers. We decided against printing them: shipping paper around the world to people who are about to fly across it did not sit well with us, and a file you can search is more use on the day anyway.

  • Free, and nothing is asked of you in return
  • Rebuilt from the site, so the PDF and the page agree
  • Figures carry the date and the source they came from

Australia

Guides are rebuilt whenever the chapters behind them change, so a file you downloaded months ago may be behind the page. If something in a guide looks wrong or out of date, tell us — we would rather hear it than not.

Optional

Would you rather we emailed it to you?

Every guide above downloads on one click without telling us anything, and that is not changing. But if you would rather have it in your inbox — to read on the way home, or to forward to whoever you are deciding this with — say which one and we will send the link.

While we are here

Both of these are off unless you turn them on, and leaving them off changes nothing — you still get the guide, and the site still does everything it does.

We keep a record of which guide you asked for, and your profession and destination if you told us, so we know what people are actually planning and which guides to write next. You can ask us to delete it at any time. Nothing is shared with an employer unless you ask us to. How we use your information
