Australia’s regional towns are marked by distinctive architecture, from modernist RSL clubs and Art Deco cinemas to stilted Queenslanders and elaborate Edwardians. This book captures a snapshot of Australian towns from Warrnambool to Broome, photographed by the National Library of Australia in the 1990s. Each building reflects its local climate, history, and people, yet common architectural themes emerge. Whether it’s a surf lifesaving club or a public pool, these structures contribute to our sense of identity. The mix of architectural styles, from Victorian to Modernist, evokes nostalgia and familiarity, showcasing the unique beauty of Australian towns.
