Many Australians are shivering through each winter unaware of the impacts cold homes have on their health.
From Queenslanders on stilts, often described as wooden tents, to draughty cottages in the southern states, there are many different reasons houses in the country are not keeping out the chill, according to the University of Adelaide's Lyrian Daniel.
A researcher at the university's Centre for Housing, Urban and Regional Planning, Dr Daniel said Australians saw themselves as a summer country.
"We're so geared towards thinking about summer and heatwaves that really we almost forget about winter," she said.
