Australia Photos by Ilia Torlin

See location of some of the photos on the map

Beautiful Australia. Rural and urban, unusual landscapes and the outback – scenes of the country I’ve called home for over 20 years. Travel in Australia is a challenge. It’s somehow the exact opposite of Hong Kong. After hours of driving, the landscape hardly changes. But it is always beautiful. Especially in the evening… Just before sunset… With thunderclouds in the background…

This is only a small subset of my Australia photos. Many are on film and I don’t think I will ever scan them… But I’ll post more digital photos as soon as they are ready.
