"A lucid picture of how much Australia and California have
interacted with and influenced each other over the last 150
years."-- "Houses"
"Comparisons between historical and cultural developments in
Australia and the American West/California are frequently made, but
this is the first significant study to examine the eclectic and
symbiotic nature of the aesthetic exchange between the two evolving
frontier regions. Summing up: Recommended."-- "Choice" (1/1/2011

"Impeccable scholarship and beautiful illustrations convincingly
equates the material culture of commercial promotion that
encouraged the settlement of the antipodes and the Golden State. An
intriguing and novel topic made accessible and compelling. This
lovely volume will appeal to readers on many levels."-- "Library
Journal" (1/1/2011 12:00:00 AM)
"It is a book which opens fresh perspectives as one muses on the
impact of Hollywood on Australian cinema and, later, on the effect
on Australian culture of the flood of American pop culture from
California."--Sasha Grishin "The Canberra Times" (1/1/2011 12:00:00
