Building Australia: The Complete Series (DVD)

This series, hosted by John Doyle, provides a fascinating social history of Australia through the evolution of its houses, including how the Aussie home has shaped the lives and cultures of present-day Australians. Each episode focuses on different styles of buildings and the people who have inhabited them. Doyle's own observations as well as his conversations with a range of experts, enthusiasts, and homeowners around the country offer both insight and commentary on how, in building the Australian house, Australians have both created and been created by a unique set of values, priorities, and solutions.
