Treasures of Australia. Robin Smith and Cedric Flower. 1983.

We have no ancient buildings and our castles and cathedrals, our great halls and homesteads, our villas and cottages, reflect the architectural tempo of their time - from Georgian to High-Tech - but their designers have reached back to both classical and hybrid forms to create an amazing diversity of style and grandeur in city, town and country.

Treasures of Australia sets out to find those places - natural and man made - which through their magnificence, typicality or important associations are recognised as a vital and inspiring part of our heritage.
