There were bound to be a few anomalies with the starring when we stepped up ;-) to the 5 star system for the 2007 guidebook... I can't remember what specific input lead to those particular routes getting those ratings. Feedback will help us "improve" the ratings in the next edition (except that we won't be reverting to the 3 start system). It's best if anyone has any specific feedback then to send me an email at guidebook 'at' onsight.com.au. I watch this forum - and made a note of these comments - but when we come to do the update we are much less likely to miss the info if it was in an email.
