This is a beautiful dictionary that has all possible Australian English words you might need to check. It is a boxed set of two hard-cover volumes. The box is sturdy and it's relatively easy to remove the books to read. Highly recommended for any Australian wanting to check the spelling or pronunciation of a wide variety of words. I'm glad I bought it.
