[Stephen · Rating 4 out of 5]

A lovely illustrated snapshot of historical Australian towns. A wide selection of places were selected, with a detailed glossary at the back quite helpful to understand some of the more architecture-specific vocabulary, such as "loggia" or "parapet". Borrowed it from my local library, which is in one of the towns featured in the book - it was also interesting to note the way the town has changed in 3 decades - and will continue to do so.
