Very English architecture although most English bungalows have either been demolished to make way for two storey homes or at least have their roof space converted to provide extra accommodation. Both the style and the name were borrowed from India. I believe that this type pf accommodation was much favoured by English ten bob(shilling) Poms after the second world war. I know that my sister and her family were eventually housed in a similar bungalow as ten bob Poms in the early sixties!Vacancy

I wonder if this was public housing stock from the late-’50s or early ’60s; we had a wonderful public housing authority called the South Australian Housing Trust (an Australian first, established in 1936 by a conservative state government), and now but a mere shadow of its 1930s-and-later self; a Labor government saw fit to rename it Housing SA a decade ago (so corporate), but so fitting because of the removal of“Trust” from its moniker.Very English architecture although most English bungalows have either been demolished to make way for two storey homes or at least have their roof space converted to provide extra accommodation.

Well it used to be the most Brit state (no convicts, dontcha know!). We were once the ‘poshest’ state in pronunciation (thirty years ago perhaps); I was upbraided by a lady friend from NSW when I made fun of her accent—“Well at least we don’t talk like a bunch o’ pommy poofters” she snapped. TV, movies and other media ensure that most young South Australians now exhibit a bit of Valley Girl, amongst other influences. Words like ‘dance’ are more likely to be pronounced with a much shorter A (almost an E sound—‘dence?’) rather than the elongated ‘dahnce’ of yesteryear (I still talk like this), and the uninflected ‘here’ of yore is now mostly ‘heeyah’. I even saw ‘here’ written on a railway station wall as ‘heah’, but that was at Salisbury, rubbish demographically …… the colour of the grass in the second image gave me the clue! Adelaide is more english than England!
Even Plympton in itself had English roots as the original Plympton is on the outskirts of Plymouth in Devon, England! I made a brief visit to Adelaide on the way to Kangaroo Island during my Oz tour. I really liked Kangaroo Island by the way! the Sea Lions and Koala's were my favourites and the scenery just magnificent!The location of the house and its very green grass is on Marion Road at South Plympton.

Nothing wrong with the EM1 - as long as you don't use it in the (semi-)dark.Absolutely great shot - with a great lens. And even the "ancient" EM1 shines with that lens
