For example, in Castlecraig, Sydney.

in California, the style was imported into Australia in 1816 and
became popular in the late 1920s and 1930s. It features are (except
for the lowline roof) most suitable for Australian conditions.
Distinctive features were massive porch pylons (often raked)
supporting a flat or low pitched roof. Exposed roof rafters under
wide eaves and gable to the porch.
