New South Wales The first collection of images is set in New South Wales - the state that is home to much-dreamed-about Sydney.

Northern Territory The heart and soul of Australia, it calls itself. The Outback - this is where the real Australia began for me, and for many others. The earth so red, the sky so blue, the road so long. Freedom.

Queensland Sunshine all-round, good surfing and superb diving at the Great Barrier Reef. Especially the latter was a promise of long standing that I had made to myself.

South Australia Often just an in-between for travellers going from coast to coast, SA is too often neglected. Yet it is actually a very interesting place - it's the driest inhabited place on Earth, for instance - and I was a bit sad that I had so little time to explore it when I was seeing my friends in Adelaide. Still, we did have time to try the wines of Barossa Valley. This is definitely a place to come back to.
