Sean - Modernist Australia

Modernist Australia is interesting from an architectural and cultural angle, but it's also fun to look through the real estate section and imagine buying and living in some of these places. One of my favourite towns at the moment is not technically modernist (mid 20th century) but entirely 1920s - Ariah Park, in Sonya's region. As the sign says "The town of wowsers, bowsers, and peppercorn trees". It's just off the Walter Burley Griffin highway, and it's like driving onto the set of a 1920s rural village, incredibly well maintained, and with numerous gorgeous buildings for sale at bargain prices. This is the kind of place I dream about moving to when I become a landscape painter!

  1. You're so good at finding interesting blogs Sean. I love how almost every post is laced with venomous comments about real estate agents and the greedy fat cat buyers who want to demolish and subdivide. No holding back, and completely justified too. A shame there isn't more respect and regulation to protect this architectural heritage.
