Adelaide Parklands book



I was very excited to collect my copy of the new book Adelaide Parklands A social history by Patricia Sumerling as one of my photos has been used on the Title page (see below).


 Moreton Bay Fig Trees - Botanic Park




Patricia Sumerling is a professional historian and author of several other books. Looking through the book I can see how well it has been researched and it is packed with interesting historical material and stories combined with a wonderful collection of photos and illustrations dating from the days when Adelaide was first settled to the current day.

For those who love the Adelaide Parklands this will be a book to treasure. It is being launched next Friday 6th May and is already available through Wakefield Press.
