Australia's Wild Places

Australia's Wild Places celebrates the Australian landscape photographers whose works capture and encapsulate the essence of their country. From the drama of bush scapes to the untouched rocky crags of Western Australia and the serenity of the Tasmanian rainforest, the works collected here trace the development of photogrpahy and a nation's environmental awareness from the early 1800s to the present day. Drawing on the extensive collection of the National Library of Australia, Australia's Wild Places highlights the fingerprints humans have left on our landscape through the lenses of some of Australia's greatest photographers.
