Tips and Takeaways
Takeaway:
- The Visitor Guide is credible because it has been published by National Parks, which has a good, well known reputation. In other words it is more trustworthy than a blog written by an unknown traveller.
- The Visitor Guide contains the logo of the Australian Government, which if authentic means that the document has most likely gone through a rigorous quality assurance checks.
- The Visitor Guide shows that it was updated and published in 2017, which means that it is current because it is information on an area that has not changed over many years, so a publication a few years old is appropriate. If it was a newspaper providing information on current issues, then a publication date of 2017 would not be credible.
