Step behind the lens and into the wild with 100 jaw-dropping images that capture nature at its most dramatic, beautiful and raw.

The world-renowned Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition, now in its sixtieth year and on loan from the Natural History Museum in London, will return to Adelaide Botanic Garden this spring and summer. 

Inside the lush green setting of the Bicentennial Conservatory, the exhibition will feature 100 exceptional images that capture fascinating animal behaviour, spectacular species and the breathtaking diversity of the natural world.
