Ballarat is a great town with a lovely mix of architecture from the grand Victorian buildings from the decades following the goldrush to lovely little deco gems like this.
Not to mention the whole Eureka Stockade and the goldrush history itself.
MELBOURNE ART DECO
In 2009 Robin Grow published a book on Melbourne Art Deco, with images largely supplied by David Thompson. The book quickly sold out and he is pleased to say that it has now been re-published by Brolga Press, with updates, errors corrected and a new cover.
Best of all, it is selling for about $25 in the shops and on-line. Art Deco & Modernism Society members can purchase a copy from me for $22, (includes postage within Australia). For overseas orders please email for postage rates. Contact me at robingrow@ozemail.com.au if you are interested, and advise if you would like the book to be dedicated and/or signed.
nice find David, love how the central motif comes to a curve like that, and the white paintwork really makes the whole building stand out.
ReplyDeleteThanks Thomas. The light was so beautiful it really let the buildings shine.
ReplyDeletePerfect timing. This coming weekend is Heritage Weekend in Ballarat with all the organised tours etc. See http://ballaratheritageweekend.com/
ReplyDeleteIf you ever wanted particular buildings photographed in Ballarat, I would be delighted to do it.
Thanks Helen.
