Historic Homesteads of Australia
Australian Consul of National Trusts
Of all Australia\'s historic buildings the homestead most truly reflects the nation\'s foundational and early development period. This second volume describes more of the wealth of material which inspired the first Historic Homesteads of Australia, published originally in 1969. Another thirty-four of the historic homesteads still in existence are described and illustrated. Chronologically, the buildings selected almost span a century; architecturally, the remarkable diversity of styles to be found throughout Australia is fully represened. The starkly funtional Beltana comple in outback Sout Australia, and the simple, but aesthetically superb buildings of Gulf Station in rural Victoria contrast to more eleborate, substantial homesteads such as Gidleigh in New South Wales and Larra in Victoria with its great stable complex.
