Discover Australia: Our Highways & Byways

3/5 ( ratings)

Australia - the vibrant cities, the quiet country towns, spectacular and beautiful landscapes and the heritage and industry of its people - all these make Discover Australia.

From the monsoonal northern tropics to the chilly and windswept south, every corner of the land has a place in Discover Australia, now the most complete guide ever to be published on the continent, countryside and people. This is a book to inspire and guide your travels, or an armchair companion with which to explore a great and fascinating land. In Discover Australia you can absorb what each carefully presented area contains, the history of its settlements, the diversity of its architecture, the writers and painters of those places, the industry, the craftsmen and the span of a unique flora and fauna.

In more than 1,000 brilliant photographs and stunning paintings, the flora, fauna, landscapes and people that make up Australia are celebrated. The book concludes with 80 pages of specially drawn maps. Fourteen beautiful special features highlight such national "treasures" as the wildflowers of Western Australia, the riverboat era, the country of Ned Kelly, the distinctive architecture of Queensland, and the teasure ship wrecks of Western Australia.
