Iconic Australia

Iconic Australia is a place of corrugated iron roofs in shades of rust and grey
Where centuries old fireplaces seemingly prop up sagging walls
 

And sandstone cottages peek out from behind lilac bushes and autumnal vines.



It’s where lush arbors and lawns are the envy of every green keeper

 
And weatherboard cottages framed by palomino palings are skewed by time.
 
It’s where lichen and moss adorn tree trunks like winter jackets
 
And walkways flanked by intoxicating lavender are a prelude to winter
 

This is Australia

Old Australia
Glorious relics of a colonial era

Of bygone Georgian and Victorian days
