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.
