A new style of Australian passport has been released, incorporating iconic images with the latest security technology.
Launched today, the new travel document uses images by Australian artists of the country's unique landscape, flora and fauna, and lifestyle.
The uniquely Australian design work will make it very difficult to falsify.
Each page of the new passport is derived from Australian works of art such as the late Aboriginal artist Uta Uta Tjangala's iconic 1981 work Yumari, which is now held by the National Museum.
