Hardcover with dust jacket in good condition.
Historic Towns of Australia by Philip Cox and Wesley Stacey is a visually rich and thoughtfully researched exploration of Australia's architectural and cultural heritage, focusing on the development of early colonial towns across the country. Through a combination of evocative photography and detailed historical commentary, the authors document the evolution of townscapes, highlighting the influence of European settlement, local materials, and environmental adaptation. Each town profiled offers a unique glimpse into Australia’s past, from its convict origins and gold rush booms to the growth of civic pride and regional identity. The book stands as both a celebration of Australia's built environment and a call for its preservation.
