		Because of the area’s relatively high rainfall and cool-temperate climate, away from the heat and dust of the Adelaide Plain, the land was chosen specifically for the cultivation of cool-climate plants, as an annexe to the long-established Adelaide Botanic Garden in North Tce.
		And most of all there are the small noises that would go quite unheard in the partying city down on the plain: bee hum, water trickle, lizard scuttle, frog plop, leaf fall, and the beating of wings.
