Description
The verandah is one of the most iconic and enduring elements of Australian architecture. More than a design feature, it is an interface between private space and public life.
This symbol of Australian life is a cultural and climatic response to how we live in this vast country of ours. From the slab huts of the first settlers to the glory days of the gold rushes, from the smallest shack to the grandest mansion, verandahs have evolved, adapted, and flourished across diverse climates and varied historical periods.
In The Verandah, photographer Simon Griffiths takes us on a journey across our continent to capture the beauty and charm of this Australian icon.
