Shelter In The Present

What do you live in today? Brick houses, cement houses, apartments, cottages and probably lots more. This is what my web page is going to be about. Shelter in the present.

Brick Houses
Brick houses are made of bricks and usually keep the heat in. Sometimes on very cold nights they let the heat out though.

Apartments
Most people who work in the city live in apartments. They are close to the cityand close to each other. They are usually made of cement and have one or two bedrooms and one bathroom and shower.

The apartments on the left are in Paramatta, Sydney and have great views over Sydney Harbour. They are home to people who live and work in the city of Paramatta or Sydney.

House Boats
Many people live on boats. This has the advantage of making your home portable. Also it is close to a ready supply of fresh food. You need to like fish.

Underground
In Cooberpeady, central Australia, people live in abandoned opal mines. To add more rooms they simply dig a new cave. The reason they live underground is that it is simply too hot on the surface. There are even underground churches. The church on the right is about 5 metres underground and remains cool from the 40 plus degree Australian summer. When they need more room they simply dig out a new room.
