The Australian Dream? With Tim Ross – Launceston
University of Tasmania - The Workshop Building, Rory Spence Lecture Theatre, Inveresk Campus, 2 Invermay Road, Launceston
TICKETED SHOW, AVAILABLE VIA LINK
Hosted by: Tim Ross
In The Australian Dream? Tim Ross cast his discerning eye across the archival treasures of our much-loved public libraries and uncovered the telling images that reveal a multi-decade story of Australian homes: how they’re sold to us, why we buy them and how we make them our own. Ross explored the reasons why home ownership is such an all-consuming distraction among Australians and uncovered some of the unique and special ways we have built in this place.

![Open House Hobart and the Emerging Architects and Graduates Network (EmAGN) Tasmania @emagn_tas would like to thank everyone who kindly bid in this year's annual Sheltered [Ground] Silent Auction.
We watched the last-minute bidding war on some items (looking at your chair, @other_furniture_) with absolute glee; because, together, you helped raise over $8000 for the Hobart Women's Shelter @hobartwomensshelter. Legends. THANK YOU!!
If you missed out on an item, but you'd still like to support HWS, please head to the link in bio to make a donation. Your financial help plays a critical role in supporting service delivery and therapeutic programs, and fund strategic projects such as building long-term homes. Such programs provide opportunities for women and children to lead independent and fulfilling lives.
Finally, congratulations to those who outbid everyone else – enjoy your beautiful pieces, knowing there's a string of jealous individuals who missed out. Don't worry! We'll do it all again next year.
