Australia, situated between the Indian and Pacific Oceans, is rich in rainforest, deserts, and mountains. Geological wonders such as the Uluru, the Outback or the Great Barrier Reef characterize the country, as do the coastline of dream beaches and surfing paradises with offshore islands.

New South Wales is one of Australia's most diverse states: dense rainforests, unique beaches such as Bondi Beach or Tallow Beach but also ski resorts in the Australian Alps and the bustling metropolis of Sydney. The book shows in over 340 photographs the unique beauty of the region.
Imagine a sea of sand dunes the size of a European country, a world in motion, exquisite ridge lines perfectly sculpted by the winds and stretching to a layered horizon. Or a remote mountain massif in black rock or sandstone, hewn by the elements and marked in red ochre with the passage of ancient rock artists. Or a salt pan shimmering to a seemingly endless horizon. Welcome to the world's deserts, a realm of astonishing and dramatic beauty, as much places of the soul and the imagination as actual physical terrain.
Queensland is a vast land of diverse and unrelenting beauty: from the rainforest-covered mountains, unique islands such as the Whitsunday Islands and Fraser Island to the undeveloped deserts of the outback.
