If you thought daily life for most Australians included beaches, the outback and the occasional bit of nudity -- you might be right.

Everyday Australia, a photography competition run by Getty Images, aims to help visualise the warmth of Australia for a local and global audience. The results were announced on Oct. 27, with the winning entry receiving the opportunity to attend a professional commercial photography course in Sydney.

Here are the winners and some of our favourite images from this year's competition.
