When i befriended an Aussie couple during a holiday in Sicily in the late 70s, they came to stay with me in Uk for a few weeks of their world tour.
Types of housing was discussed and they said that corrugated tin roofs and verandahs were nostalgically fashionable in Oz. I wonder now how the people living under those roofs survive the heat.
Incidentally, they described our semis as 'half a house'
