Tim Ross Instagram – Blues Skies at the Whitlam House in Cabramata. Designed by Roy Appleton in 1957.
“Gough Whitlam’s home was intrinsically linked to his political life. As the Member of the Australian Parliament for Werriwa from 1952 to 1978, the home served as the backdrop to his service – constituents, seen approaching through the kitchen window as they walked up the driveway, were invited into the living or dining rooms to talk about their matters of concern. The home was a frequent host to political functions, celebrations of electoral victories, and sombre reflections on losses.”
I’m still processing my visit to this home which is continuing to be restored by @thewhitlaminstitute | Posted on 30/Jun/2024 04:08:02
