'I adore perving at Australia's quirky and under-appreciated architectural underbelly through Sandy's stalky lens.' - Tim Minchin

A delightfully curated collection that celebrates the eclectic, the innovative, the showstoppers, the elegantly decaying and the quirkily heartwarming homes hiding in plain view. This book showcases the houses that remind us of where we grew up or where we wanted to grow up. What's captured here is a snapshot of a disappearing Australia.

About the Author

Sandy Weir started working in the Australian book trade in 1988 after a few years in retail following a disastrous HSC result. Sandy technically lives in country New South Wales but is most often found anywhere but there, looking over fences. She started sharing residential treasures on her Instagram page @other_peopleshomes in February 2022.
