This second volume in the series provides ample proof of the extent of the early settlers' aspirations. Wherever settlements were established, among the first permanent buildings to be raised were government offices, the courthouses and the military or police barracks - the nucleus of the new community and the essential requirement for the maintenance of law and order. Presented in chronological order by date of first construction, some forty buildings or groups of buildings are here described and superbly illustrated. Coverage is Australia wide - from the earliest public buildings still in existence in Sydney, Tasmania, Victoria and South Australia, to the equally historic and often unique buildings of Queensland and Western Australia. A superb copy of this collectable publication. Please note that this book is very heavy.. First Edition. Cloth. Very Good/Very Good. Folio - over 12" - 15" tall.
