Old Colonial Architecture In NSW & Tasmania
By W. Hardy Wilson
Published by Ure Smith: Sydney 1975

" Old Colonial Architecture in New South Wales & Tasmania by W. Hardy Wilson (1975 edition, originally published earlier) is a significant study of Australia's early built heritage, focusing on the elegant domestic and public architecture of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Wilson, an architect and artist, carefully documented Georgian and Regency-style houses, churches, and civic buildings, often with accompanying illustrations and measured drawings. His work reflects a deep appreciation of proportion, craftsmanship, and the adaptation of European styles to the Australian climate and materials.

The book not only records these early colonial structures but also serves as a preservationist's call, highlighting the cultural importance of maintaining Australia's architectural past at a time when modernization threatened many historic buildings. By blending history, art, and architectural analysis, Wilson's work became both an aesthetic celebration and a documentary archive. Today, it remains valued as an early effort to recognize and protect Australia's colonial heritage."
