Just once I’d like to see someone propose to take a California Bungalow in one of these places and reinstate its full Eighties Ethnic Palace characteristics. Concrete lions, front yard vegetable patch, pebblecrete, the lot. I’m convinced it would come up to Burra Charter standards if you did it right (and the house had actually had that treatment in the past) but the neighbours and the Council and NSW Heritage would have a fit
