Extreme landscapes, unusual fauna and flora and a multicultural population are all factors that contribute to the allure of Australia - the world's smallest continent and its largest island. Truly a place of striking contrasts, Australia embraces images as diverse as the snow-capped peaks of the Snowy Mountains; the verdant rainforests of North Queensland; the golden wheatfields of the Darling Downs; the busy cosmopolitan cities that cling to the coastline; the blue waters of the Great Barrier Reef; and the sparsely populated isolation of the outback.
This book captures the diversity and majestic beauty of this immense land, bringing it to life in a series of thematically arranged chapters which are lavishly illustrated with 250 photographs.
