Dinkum Dunnies by Douglass Baglin and Barbara Mullins

An affectionate photographic celebration of the Australian dunny

Good Condition - Dust jacket shows light rubbing, small nicks along the top edge and wear to the spine ends and corners, otherwise clean and tidy.

Douglass Baglin and Barbara Mullins turn their attention to one of Australia's humblest and most recognisable structures: the outdoor dunny. Through photographs and brief captions, Dinkum Dunnies records the variety, ingenuity and unintentional comedy found in these small buildings and their surroundings. Weathered timber, corrugated iron and improvised construction become subjects for an affectionate visual survey, placing everyday practicality against the character of the Australian landscape. The pleasure is in the details and in the unexpected individuality of something usually taken for granted. Part photographic record and part gently humorous tribute, the book will appeal to readers who enjoy vernacular architecture, country life and the distinctive curiosities of Australian social history.
