Australia captures the spirit of a nation which is as much loved for its beauty as it is for its people. Beginning with the most populated state of the country, New South Wales, this image collection reveals the bustling heart of Sydney day and night, the glory of the Blue Mountains and the laidback lifestyle enjoyed on the city's Northern Beaches. Melbourne's culture, cafes and nightlife make it a photogenic city and Victoria's Great Ocean Road is one of the most scenic drives in the country, if not the world. Sunny Queensland comes to life on Australia's pages where vacationers from just about everywhere flock to soak up the warm temperatures, beautiful beaches and pristine natural wonders. The waters surrounding the Great Barrier Reef, Whitsunday Islands and Daintree National Park linger long in the memories of those who visit. The vivid colors are dramatically portrayed in vast Western Australia and the Northern Territory, as is the wonderful wildlife that roams throughout this unique country.
