Full title: Georgian Architecture in Australia: With Some Examples of Buildings of the Post-Georgian Period. Photography by Max Dupain. Architectural Commentary and Notes by Morton Herman. Social histories of New South Wales and Tasmania by Marjorie Barnard and Daniel Thomas.

The Georgian buildings erected in Australia between 1788 and 1840 were perhaps the finest product of the whole colonial period. Most have been destroyed, but with the passage of time, appreciation has grown for the beautiful proportions and simple elegance of the style.

This book contains over one hundred photographs of the best surviving Georgian buildings in New South Wales and Tasmania, the two states old enough to have architecture of the period. These houses, churches and bridges, the work of architects like Francis Greenway, John Verge, James Blackburn and John Lee are shown in the book.
