Reviews

[Tim Corke · Rating 4 out of 5]

Elder's insight into the majesty and variety of the Australian continent is excellent reading. Having visited for a year several years back it brought back memories and imagery that filled me with delight. The photos are accompanied by succinct and interesting snippets of history, growth and exploration and modern developments if tourism and economy.
If you've never been to Australia and are contemplating a visit Presenting Australia would be a good starting point!
