Lonely Planet - Obviously not as good as these web pages! In Western Australian terms this is probably true, there is less information in their website covering Western Australia than is available here.
However, the Lonely planet Website has a worldwide scope and in depth information on just about every corner of the planet. Its traveller Reports sent from all over the world can be invaluable. Furthermore having the local Lonely planet guide when you are travelling is like having a map when you are orienteering - essential.
