Australia in three books

Stuart Harrison

Winter 2024

On a wall in my house, near where I keep the books, there is a framed photograph of architect Robin Boyd’s own house on Walsh Street in South Yarra. The photograph captures late sunlight shining through the high windows on the street-facing façade and reflecting off the famous draping ceiling. Taken a few years ago by Peter Bennetts, the image captures how we continue to look back in new ways at this extraordinary body of work.
