WIN! In one word, what does 'Rumpus Room' mean to you?

Let's play a word association game - and one lucky entrant will win Tim Ross's sensational new book The Rumpus Room.

Many of us grew up with a Rumpus Room but now it is often a room transformed into a study, parents retreat or an extra bedroom. Yet the memories remain. And that's where this book comes in...

"From the beachside holiday house to the backyard pool and the rumpus room, the architecture of the suburbs forms the backdrop to a uniquely Australian way of life. In the book, Ross roams through these familiar places to paint a picture of Australian domesticity and its relationship to the Australian psyche in all its funny, nostalgic, ironic and often acutely cringe-worthy glory."



Tell us in the comments what word comes to mind when we say 'Rumpus Room'...

Each comment is an entry into the competition to win Tim's book. Be creative!

Contest ends at 12:00pm AEST on 30 June, 2017.

    My dad built our huge rumpus room. He passed away unexpectedly at 39 leaving mum and us two kids. His army mates came and finished it. The built in cupboard doors were "army built" and so heavy we could barely open them to get our toys out. We had a train set that folded up on to the wall and a peg board and window seats. It was a lovely space with polished floor boards and we spent all but the cold winter months in there and even then crammed around with the electric radiator. Very few neighbours had a rumpus room so we were a bit special. Lovely memories.
