Wild Beauty

A tribute to Australia’s rare, and rarely seen wilderness, Wild Beauty offers a beautiful glimpse into the country’s wildest, oldest, tallest, longest and most extraordinary natural treasures. Journalist Graham Lloyd and photographer Vanessa Hunter have spent four years seeking out the secrets and stories of the land’s rich and rare treasures, and capturing images of the wild and beautiful, resulting in a showcase of 26 extraordinary places of incredible beauty and resilience. From King’s Holly, the world’s oldest plant in Tasmania, to swimming alongside the world’s largest mass migration of minke whales near the Great Barrier Reef, this book explores the little known and secret places that shelter endangered species and spectacular landscapes in a world troubled by climate change through a visual journey, brought to life with incredible stories about the people who fight, preserve and protect these special places.
