Yup. We’re living with the mistakes of the past and no one wants to fix it for the future.

Fucking moronic people who looked at the Queenslander and thought, “that’s PERFECT for a giant paddock of a Territory that regularly drops below freezing!”

And then 80 years of builders followed suit, but each iteration they stripped more of the charm out.
