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. This book shows in over 500 pictures the uniqueness of the animal world above and under water and the untouched nature, and, in addition, the cultural sides of the metropolises including Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, and Canberra.
