Din l-Art Helwa

The Melita Foundation and Din l-Art Ħelwa teamed up to give the Australian Bungalow a much needed renovation, preserving its awesome history for future generations!

Over the past three years, the Melita Foundation has teamed up with Din l-Art Ħelwa to give the Australian Bungalow a fresh lease on life. This cool bungalow, once buzzing with Maltese emigrants learning how to build such houses before leaving for Australia, is a slice of history that needed saving. The project isn’t just about preserving the past—it’s about celebrating it while looking to the future. Dr. Ray Bondin, a heritage expert, saw the bungalow’s potential to wow the world, highlighting its special place in global heritage. Thanks to this restoration, a unique piece of Maltese history is now ready to inspire future generations with stories of adventure and new beginnings.
