Gallery: Perth through a local lens

With natural beauty, a diverse cultural makeup and a laid-back beach culture, Perth is a multicultural metropolis. Labelled as one of the world’s top 10 most liveable cities, it combines economic opportunity with a burgeoning arts scene, new streetscapes and a relaxed coastal lifestyle.

GALLERY: Australia’s high country cattlemen

In her latest book, photographer Melanie Faith Dove depicts Australian mountain cattlemen through four seasons of work, from droving their cattle into the high country during summer, to mustering them home in autumn before the snow falls. In capturing the spirit of the mountain cattlemen, Melanie communicates the challenges they face; in May 2015, grazing cattle was banned in alpine national parks in Victoria, but the legend lives on in State Forests.

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.
