Girt by sea: Epic journey to photograph Australia's vast coastline by plane

Photographer Tony Hewitt sitting in small plane with camera.

As a child Tony Hewitt would sing the national anthem and ponder the meaning behind three words of its lyrics, and they would one day propel him on an audacious photographic journey of a lifetime.

"As I understand that translation 'girt by sea' — surrounded by water, it started to sort of build in my mind what an amazing adventure [it would be] to actually go out and experience it," Mr Hewitt said.

"Because the only way you can truly understand anything is to do it."
