Australia is a land full of surprises and contrasts with countless unforgettable adventures to offer visitors. In over 200 captivating photographs, this book highlights the diversity of this fascinating continent. Exploring some of the country's most popular tourist regions, it includes images of Kakadu, where rocky cliffs form the world's oldest canvas and depict stories reflecting the Aboriginal Dreamtime; Australia's national capital, Canberra, where valuable art of a different kind is displayed, and a hot-air balloon ride over Lake Burley Griffin at dawn presents the charms of this showpiece city; spectacular coastal vistas such as the awe-inspiring Twelve Apostles and the tranquil, seductive White Haven Beach; as well as the country's unique wildlife - koalas, kangaroos and the less-seen thorny devils and quokkas.
'Australia: Treasure Island' combines all these images - the rugged red centre, sparkling cities, captivating islands, mysterious caves, and the dazzling underwater gardens of the Great Barrier Reef - with informative text to present the natural beauty and grandeur of this vast and ancient land.
