An expansive illustrated encyclopedia exploring Australia’s natural history, culture and contemporary life across its cities, towns and wild places.

The first section surveys geology, climate, Indigenous heritage, flora and fauna, and social and political development since European settlement. It also covers the arts, architecture, science and the economy.

The second section is a detailed, place-by-place guide to all states and territories — capital cities, regional towns, national parks, wineries and rugged 4WD destinations — with entries keyed to detailed road maps.

Packed with full-colour photography and precise cartography, the volume is complemented by a CD-ROM containing extra images and trip planning material for four-wheel driving, fishing and national-park visits.

• Country-wide maps and place entries
• Indigenous culture and historical overview
• Wildlife and flora profiles
• Travel planning content and extra photos on CD-ROM
