You are invited to meet Kara Rosenlund when she introduces Shelter - How Australians Live.

Kara Rosenlund travelled all over the country to seek out authentic, appealing and intriguing Australian interiors and has documented them in Shelter, with her trademark honest and poignant style.

On her year-long journey, Kara wandered off the beaten track, across regional and remote Australia, to find houses whose beauty and charm told their own story. Each stunning image gives you a glimpse into their history; the abandoned cottage saved from decay by its new owners; the shipping container repurposed into an eco-friendly dwelling; the cliff-top hideaway overlooking the sea; or a few of the many shacks dotted around the country which have had new life breathed into them by loving owners.

The landscape is ever-present: from the rock shelf and the plains; the salt bush and the high country; down to the sand dunes, the subtle influence it has on each dwelling is as powerful as the indelible mark left by the owners.

Join us when Kara Rosenlund shares her love of the 'beautiful and tired, rambling and crumbling" at 6.30pm on Thursday December 3rd, at Berkelouw Books in Mona Vale.
