N2  - Australians have long been obsessed by the dream of home ownership. Whether they occupied a tent or a tree trunk, a bungalow,or a castle, they have always worked to create their own unique personal spaces.
The Great Australian Dream tells the story of these people and their homes. John Archer brings the perception of an artist and the expertise of an authority on owner-built housing to a unique and wide-ranging history. Beginning with Aboriginal dwellings, the evolution of urban and rural housing is traced from the hurriedly erected shelters of 1788, through the exuberance of Federation and the blandness of the 1950s' triple-fronted brick veneer, to the diverse styles and philosophies that characterise the Australian house of today
