The bioregion of Australia, New Zealand, Antarctica and New Guinea possesses a unique natural heritage stretching back over 50 million years since the break-up of the great southern continent of Gondwanaland. The South Australian Museum focuses on enhancing a general knowledge of this extraordinary legacy by encouraging photography of the region’s nature and wilderness, and promoting an annual competition to find the Nature Photographer of the Year.

"Production quality is first rate, with very accurate colour replication. Many pages contain just one photo which gives the reader the opportunity to appreciate the superb detail. The exquisite photography will not only motivate any aspiring nature photographer but will also be appreciated for the aesthetic value of the imagery."
Paul Mansell, Wildlife Australia Magazine, Autumn 2012, pp. 43
