Australian Geographic 40 Years in Focus is a stunning photographic compendium celebrating four decades of storytelling, exploration, and discovery. From the outback to the ocean, the schoolyard to parliament, this beautifully presented hardcover brings together the very best of Australian Geographic's journalism and photography, offering a portrait of Australia that reaches far beyond the urban fringe.

Within these pages are landscapes both intimate and infinite, compelling portraits of people in moments of joy and grief, native wildlife and plant life captured in extraordinary detail, glimpses of industry and endeavour, and remarkable images from adventurers and explorers on expedition. It's a lavish and lasting tribute to the richness and diversity of this remarkable country, told through the eyes of those who have dedicated their careers to revealing it.

Curated by former long-time Editor-in-Chief Chrissie Goldrick, this beautiful collection draws on four decades of Australian Geographic photography and storytelling to reveal a changing Australia through the themes of Nature, Culture, People and Places: a compelling piece of our history to share and treasure.
