Every week news.com.au publishes incredible photographs, but we want to see Australia through your eyes.

From landscapes to wildlife, family members to local footy games, you can capture and submit a picture of whatever tickles your fancy, no matter where inspiration strikes.

And if your shot happens to be our best for the week, you’ll go into the running to win one of three Sony a7C cameras and SEL2860 kit lens, valued at $3899 each.

It may be Sony’s smallest and lightest camera and lens systems, but the company says its powers are mighty.

Advanced AF performance and functions, rapid-fire continuous shooting and a handy vari-angle LCD monitor help capture the action whenever it happens – the perfect tool to enhance any budding photographer’s creativity.

Anything you capture can be transferred directly to your smartphone or tablet – meaning you can share with friends and family in just moments.

Here’s a look at some of the best reader photos across Australia we’ve received this year.

'I'd heard about the kangaroos on the beach at Cape Hillsborough, Queensland and even though I live over 1000km away I decided I had to go photograph them. Even though there was a crowd of people the two kangaroos came right up to me and started smelling me. What an experience and what a beautiful place it was.' Picture: Jodie Nash

'I captured this photo when I was at Gosch's Paddock, Melbourne. It was around 5.30pm, the sun was setting and I knew this was going to be a spectacular drone photo.' Picture: Jack Careedy

Mildly injured but teary 9-year-old St Edmund’s student Brody Grainger is helped off the field by a member of opponent Marist’s team, Theo Campton, 10, during a school rugby match between the two Canberra schools. Picture: Kelly Grainger

'This photo was taken with a drone over the off leash dog beach at Stumers Creek, Coolum Beach in Queensland. The creek had stopped flowing and what was left resembled a dog's head.' Picture: Glenn Evans
