Restoration Australia on ABC and ABC iview S7E6 – From a grubby hostel on a busy city street to a creaking, spartan weatherboard in remote countryside, and a raft of daunting restorations in between, the challenges of saving Australia’s heritage homes is a test of willpower, ingenuity, bank balances and relationships. Architecture expert Anthony Burke takes us deep into these passion projects in this brand-new series of Restoration Australia.

It took decades for Sydneysiders Rod and Susan to fallin love with each other, a weeks-long holiday to fall in love with Tasmania and a day trip to fall in love with a timber colonial house with its own church.
Now they’re throwing everything they have and more atthis spartan relic including, hopefully, a kitchen sink and a working toilet.
