In 1824 it was estimated that over half the goods imported into Australia came from India. How did this, and experience of Colonial India, fashion the lives and houses of our early colonists?
JAMES BROADBENT is perhaps Australia’s most eminent cultural historian whose working life has been devoted to historic buildings and gardens and is the guest curator for the current house-museum tour AN ENGLISHMAN ABROAD.
