Just days after graduating in 1972，Tony and his wife Maureen drove from London to Afghanistan and eventually arrived in Sydney, Australia. Although at the end of the trip, they almost had no money left, they were very happy. Later in the year, people they met asked them continually—How did you travel? What did you see? What did it cost? These made them to turn their diaries into the first Lonely Planet book.
They spent a long time writing their first travel guide，Across Asia on the Cheap，in their home in Australia. Within a week they had sold about 1. 500 copies. The Lonely Planet Story is an unusual mix of autobiography（自传），business history and travel book. The book was soon became the backpackers' bible.
