Beginning in the fifteenth century the author explores the Portuguese origins of the word veranda; first found in Vasco da Gama's account of his meeting with the Rajah of Calicut, called the Samuri.

In literature, theatre, art and mind the veranda in Australia is discussed as an icon and a source of cultural identity.
