“From its humble beginnings as a convict settlement, through the exciting times of exploration, the gold rushes and Federation, right up to today, Australia has presented many faces to many people.
In Presenting Australia the photographs of six different photographers, plus many historical engravings, show the reader how truly varied the Australian landscape is.
The photographers, whose work has rarely been seen before, present a refreshing new look at the uniquely beautiful face of Australia.  From surf scenes at Manly to an emu at Camooweal; the Governor’s Residence in Darwin to the rodeo at the Alice; from Wrest Point Casino in Hobart to the paddle steamers on the Murray River; the Festival Hall in Adelaide to the spectacular Hamersley Ranges; and for hundreds of places in between, Australia, as it is, can be seen.”
