All of Us by Michel Lawrence

- a visual record of how the world's most isolated continent has become a haven from the brutality, extreme hardship, and unrelenting horrors in many other countries.

A coffee table book which will generate great interest as people peruse the photos! Released February 2008.

This book is a remarkable record of the transformation of modern Australia from a simple Anglo-Saxon convict settlement to today's multicultural society. Photographer Michel Lawrence has not only recorded the great variety of today's Australians, but he has also recorded their stories, chronicling their often far-distant places of birth along with the sometimes dangerous and adventurous paths they took to arrive on these shores.

It's a rich tapestry of the people of the world who have all chosen to call Australia home.

In this incredibly diverse mix were the original Australians, our indigenous people, as well as the descendants of the first English colonizers and convicts from the First Fleet who landed in Sydney on January 26, 1788.

The result has been a two-year odyssey for Michel, meeting people from many different regions - in some cases, from places he had not even heard of. 

RRP: $59.95
