PHOTOGRAPHS OF AUSTRALIA
BOOKS AND IMAGES BY STEPHANIE JACKSON
G’DAY AND WELCOME
My previous site was removed by some wicked gremlins, and as my skills are primarily as a writer and photographer not in computer technology it will take me a considerable amount of time to create a new site that is both visually appealing and informative, so please be patient, and come back again soon to see how things are progressing – or contact me if you wish to discuss anything relating to either my books or my images.
This site began many years ago as a place to showcase the best of my vast collection of photographic images that covers everything Australian – from its amazing diversity of wildlife to its spectacular landscapes. Life has moved on however, and soon there will be more than an array of stunning images to be discovered here.
My books, which have been published by New Holland Publishers, cover the topics of gardening and Australian wildlife. Each contains around 300 spectacular images from my collection.
