Synopsis

We have built the Australian home and we have been built by it. In this six-part series John Doyle explores this intimate relationship between that most common and significant example of Australian building – the home – and the development of our unique character and way of life. Why have homes been built as they were, how have they been adapted to conditions and available materials, and how have they both reflected and influenced the lives of the generations who have occupied them.
