Steve Parish turns his camera to capturing the vibrancy and history of Australia’s capital cities in this salute to art, architecture and human endeavour. Each of Australia’s capitals — Canberra, Sydney, Brisbane, Darwin, Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne and Hobart — is distinct in demeanour and design, and each juxtapose a poignant colonial past with a dynamic, technology-driven future. Resplendent in all weather are inspiring galleries and monuments, spectacular churches, wildflower-strewn parks and gardens, rarely surpassed feats of construction such as the Opera House or the Story Bridge, gleaming ultra-modern skyscrapers and the shopping malls, streets, lanes and alleyways that are the foundation of our urban culture. See Australia’s cities and their residents in a new, more creative light with this superb, corporate and coffee-table gift book.
