		Featuring wines from the Barossa, the winery itself is located in the Adelaide Plains relatively close to the city, making it - with Primo - a good winery visit if you're on a business trip to Adelaide but don't have time to drive all the way out to the wine country.

		Although such a publication as this cannot hope to cover the entire vast range of Australian native plants which may be grown in the Adelaide area, this revised edition is much more comprehensive than its predecessors, and should fill an important need for gardeners in Adelaide.
		It is hoped that this publication will encourage and help the people of Adelaide to protect and enhance the character and beauty of their environment and to learn a little more about one aspect of this country's heritage - it's native plants, by growing and protecting them.
