Australia Travel Photo Book

From May 2014 till May 2015 I've been on a Working Holiday to Australia which was
an amazing experience! Being back home it was difficult to explain my experiences and
transfer them to my family and friends. My extensive library of images and videos that
had been build up for over a year was way too extensive! And so I've been digging through
everything to combine it into a photo book. And well, here it is!!

I've also made a film of my journey.
 
 
A map of Australia with my route and kinds of transport used
 
 
Table of contents on the left and a map of Australia with my travel route on the right
Starting pages of a state
Starting pages of a big city or island
Layout of the images, normal captions on the left are images belonging to a big city or island chapter, otherwise they are placed in a solid coloured box like it is on the right. Occasionally an image is rotated 3 degrees to break the layout and focus attention to that image
Special pages, on the left a typical Australian saying using Australian slang words,
on the right a short story about a more important happening during my journey

My long trip to Australia has been a great adventure and so it was only fitting that a beautiful book had to be made
to document my experiences and memories outside of my head in a more compact version to be viewed by everyone!

In conjunction with this photo book I've also made a film of my journey through Australia.

Onwards to the next adventure!
