Isn’t it great to see what modest abodes housed the real movers and shakers of our early history?

Yes, and these weatherboard (wooden) homes remained in vogue for the next 100 years … they became quite a tradition in NZ. I love them, they have style, and character!

As they did in Oz, particularly Queensland.

Yes, personally I really love this style, classy, has character, soul, is timeless and very elegant if well kept.
