A visual celebration of Western Australia
Western Australia is renowned for its majestic landscapes. Rugged red deserts play host to remote communities, and colourful marine life neighbours the coastal towns. And nestled within the West’s enormity of space is Perth, where urban lifestyle contrasts with the agriculture in the countryside and stark deserts spattered with spinifex grasses. Award-winning photographer, Frances Andrijich, captures the broad grandeur of the west, photographing its natural, cultural and social dimensions. Her work is diverse, but it has to be – the west is not easily summarised. The images are from her book: The West: A Visual Celebration of Western Australia.
