equatorjournal:Donald Thomson, Australian aboriginal pointed dome house of Melanesian style with Polynesian influences in Dark Emu, 1825. “These homes were made up until the torn of the 19th century, after which local indigenous architecture was destroyed and lost following the invasion of Christian missionaries.” From Paul Memmott’s excellent book “Gunyah, Goondie and Wurley, the aboriginal architecture of Australia”. He uses the work of early photographers who were able to visit remote communities where traditional economies were still being practised. https://www.instagram.com/p/CGsiRHiA39y/?igshid=1x9qnb5s4tpxg -- source link
