Australia Illustrated

Australia. Big. Beautiful. Diverse. From the First People to washing lines and crocodiles, soccer and sunshine, koalas and akubra bush hats, skyscrapers and beaches, this is a glorious tribute to this wide brown land and its rich and varied multicultural communities. Vibrantly illustrated with watercolor, ink and monoprinting, it not only celebrates the more well-known Australian flora, fauna and landmarks, but also showcases the everyday quirks and idiosyncrasies that make Australia unique.
