Spectacular, ancient, beautiful - these are just some of the adjectives that are often used to describe the Australian continent. In this book photographer Geoff Higgins takes the reader on a wide-ranging tour of the most beautiful places in Australia.
From the desolate regions of the inland to the rugged beauty of the coastline, from the vast and lonely plains to the man-made beauty of the modern and historic cities, from the fury of the Southern Ocean where it meets the Great Australian Bight to the placid beauty of the rivers and harbours, and from the hot and steamy rainforests of the north to the snow-capped mountains of the south, Australia's stark visual contrasts in all their splendour are represented in this superb book.
The national capital, Canberra, and all the state capital cities are featured, as well as the most spectacular and beautiful regions of all of the states and territories, highlighting the enormous contrasts within the country.
