At five stars. Obviously it is not seriously suggesting the routes are necessarily better than those in guidebooks which uses the three star system.

I've used overseas guidebooks which have the five star system and have personally found it really good. It might take a while to get feedback on the staring of specific routes. I note your comments, and we'll see, but just because many other Oz guidebooks use three stars in its self isn't enough reason to stick with three stars. I think it might take a while for people to get used to using the five star system (more than just a few days of use) but I see some advantages with it. I would expect other editors will use the system they think best.
