Mostly called a Homestead design here. One story, usually with a hallway running down the middle of the house, rooms off to each side.
The verandah is on all sides to keep the sun off exterior walls, keeping the house cooler.
Metal roofs are very common over here, used to be all galvanised corrugated iron but Zincalume is more common now days. It's relatively cheap, easy to put up and lasts for years.
