A Ken Duncan panorama, which is a name worth knowing: he is the photographer who made the wide Australian landscape format famous, and this is one of his celebration scenes cut at 2.7:1. Photographic puzzles give you a different kind of difficulty to illustration,...

Melbourne's most recognisable building, the ochre facade and the row of clocks under which half the city has arranged to meet. A good one for anyone with a Melbourne connection, and the architectural detail gives the 260 pieces more to hold onto than the...

The Hazards and Wineglass Bay on Tasmania's east coast, the granite peaks running down to that curve of white sand. One of the most photographed views in the country and one of the least often put on a puzzle.Artwork by Jaime Dormer. Designed and...
