The 2nd edition of Tania McCartney’s
outstanding award-winning book explores Australia in all its varied and
individual beauty through intricate, humour-filled illustrations.
An exquisite experience from beginning to end, Australia: Illustrated is a publication
that earns all the accolades it receives. It’s a parade, a celebration of all
things Australian, exquisitely captured between the covers.
Our country’s
beautiful and diverse culture is on display with iconic Aussies and landmarks,
and multicultural flavours to spice things up.
Native and endangered animals,
sports, slang, weather, and countless other sub-sections, are exhibited in
glorious design and layout.
Each State is represented with a detailed map
depicting all the areas, rivers and lakes, beginning with New South Wales. From
fishing areas to coffee shops, and lighthouses to surfing spots, by the time
readers have completed going through all the features, they will know Australia
like the back of their hand.
What a magnificent book for tourists and even
locals who want to learn about this wonderful country of ours! Tania McCartney
has surpassed everything she has previously produced. It’s clever, full of energy,
information, entertainment and spectacular colour.

and adults, it will be a journey of discovery. It is ideal as a teaching tool
or reference, and for anyone who loves the creative genius that is found in
books that make you sigh with pleasure. To top it all, it comes in a gorgeous
