Australia is a land of sharp contrasts. There are great cities on the coast and immense areas of agricultural and pastoral land, bush, semi-desert and desert. The city street depicted above is Spring Street, Melbourne , the capital whose approaching centenary is attracting an increasing amount of attention. The photographer has chosen a charming study in light and shade. The rural scene is another study in shade. A Victorian bushman is enjoying a smoke by his flimsy hut at the end of the day. Our photographs are from the Australian National Travel Association.
