When Wiley Publishing decided to launch a first edition of Australia for Dummies, they came to Lee and her co-author of Frommer's Australia, Marc Llewellyn. As part of the For Dummies series, the new book offers a more concentrated look at travel in Australia. Lee's brief for Australia for Dummies, launched in March 2008, covered Victoria, Queensland and the Top End, as well as the nuts-and-bolts holiday planning chapters. She also contributed a chapter on Australia's convict history and where to find out more about it.
