AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'What kind of buildings do Australians live in? The answers are sometimes surprising.
'A Home Among the Gum Trees takes us from Aboriginal shelters and the rough efforts of early settlers to modern suburban houses; from early company town to convict hospital; from tree-house to lighthouse to mobile home.Along the way, it shows how Australians have responded to the land, the weather and new fashions and materials.'  (Publication summary)
