Australian scenes

Let us take you on a virtual tour through paintings and photographs!  We'll travel through Australian landscapes and show you something of the diversity - from the Outback to the Rainforest and the Great Barrier Reef.

Plus you'll find news of exhibitions and other coming events. So, bookmark this page now (Control-D)

What this site is all about!

Our aim is to show you something of Australia as demonstrated by a range of artists using different media. So, here, you will meet photographers, painters and others and, hopefully, come to share and appreciate their visions of Australia.

Recently, we have moved from Cairns, Tropical North Queensland to Brisbane, the state capital, but we intend to show you a far wider picture than just the local scene.
