Here, for the first time, a complete panoramic impression of this wonderful land is presented in pictures and prose (1949). 240 pages of text, photographs, drawings and colour faithfully reflect the fascinating diversity of scenery, climate and wildlife, the mysterious survivals of the ancient past and the breathtaking achievements of the living present which are to be found in the great island continent of Australia.

The twelve comprehensive sections tell a wonderful, enthralling story, portraying Australia in her many moods and dresses. Specially selected photographs illustrate the deserts and the valleys, the rugged mountain peaks and the rivers which bring life to the soil, the great tropical forests and the rolling, fertile plains.

The great cities and the thriving industrial regions are shown in unforgettable pictures, whilst the scope and extent of Australia's great agricultural background are dealt with in vivid prose and photographs.
