Here is the external view of the Burnett House I was mentioning yesterday. Beni Burnett was quite an interesting character. He actually grew up in Asia; his parents were Scottish missionaries and he spent time in Mongolia and Malaysia. You actually do see the influence of his early years in his architecture. He subsequently became the Australian Government's Principal architect in the Northern Territory, and was commissioned to design quite a few houses in Darwin for senior public servants. Only a couple survive on the left and right of this building.
