Editing Spanish Colonial Revival architecture (section)

===Australia===
Influential Australian architects such as Emil Sodersten and Professor Leslie Wilkinson brought back styles from Italy and Spain in the early 20th century convinced that Mediterranean styles would be well-suited for the Australian climate and lifestyle. Mediterranean style became popular in places like [[Sydney]] suburbs [[Manly, New South Wales|Manly]] and [[Bondi, New South Wales|Bondi]] in the 1920s and 1930s. One variant, known as Spanish Mission or Hollywood Spanish, became popular as Australians saw films of and read in magazines about the glamorous mansions in that style that Hollywood movie stars had. Spanish mission houses began to appear in the wealthier suburbs, the most famous being [[Boomerang, Elizabeth Bay|Boomerang]], at [[Elizabeth Bay, New South Wales|Elizabeth Bay]].<ref name="nsw">{{cite web|url=http://www.manly.nsw.gov.au/DownloadDocument.ashx?DocumentID=1468 |title=Spanish Mission/Mediterranean, Manly City Council, 2006 |publisher=manly.nsw.gov.au|access-date=2015-09-04}}</ref><ref name="smh">{{cite web|url=http://www.smh.com.au/news/australian-capital-territory/spanish-mission-style/2007/10/31/1193618947593.html |title=Spanish mission style - Australian Capital Territory|publisher=Sydney Morning Herald|date=October 31, 2007 |access-date=2015-09-04}}</ref> The [[Plaza Theatre (Sydney)|Plaza Theatre]] in Sydney is a celebrated cinema in the style.
