"As a peacekeeping photographer I had flown almost weekly on UN helicopters on missions to remote places. I had learned there was no better way of getting an understanding of unfamiliar terrain than to see it from above," Perret said in a statement.

Photographed over a few helicopter flights, the areas featured include Western Australia's Goldfields-Esperance, Gascoyne, Mid West and Kimberley regions.

"No matter how many times I would study the internet maps of these regions to prepare for my photography flights, nothing would match the beauty of what I could see with my own eyes," Perret said.

"By varying my flying altitude at different times of day, and playing with the sun's angle, I could capture striking colours and highlight unusual shapes and patterns."

Take a gander, they're pretty stunning.
