Hiraeth (Welsh), ‘an acute longing for a home place or time to which you cannot return and without which you are incomplete’

What I know

On the top of Mt Cooper in the Melbourne suburb of Bundoora stands an ornate red-brick mansion topped with gargoyles. The Bundoora Homestead was built on the traditional lands of the Wurundjeri-willam clan in 1899. The then owner of the land, a wealthy horse breeder named J.M.V. Smith, organised a public architectural competition to find the winning design.
