HISTORIC HOMESTEADS OF AUSTRALIA, 1972
Historic Homesteads of Australia: a photographic survey of Australia's grandest colonial houses, first published by The Australian Council of National Trusts and Cassell Australia in 1969. The available copy is the cloth-bound 1972 edition minus the dust jacket.
With a foreword by the Governor-General and a preface by the Prime Minister, Historic Homesteads is a heavy hitter and the point of view is suffocatingly European privileged white male, but as a troubling visual record of the wealth amassed by colonialist graziers to the detriment of Australia's First Nations People (and the dubious publishing ethics of the 1970s), it serves as a stark reminder of Australia's dark colonial history through its architecture.
