“The Great Gardens of Australia portrays through 208 pages of magnificent photographs the elusive character of Australian gardens – a glorious mixture of the traditional and the modern, the formal and the informal, the imported and the indigenous.
Many are public gardens of historical significance, well known throughout the country, but others are small gardens which have gained a reputation for themselves.
Eighteenth century English landscaping, ordered shrubberies, formal flowerbeds, small rainforests, cactus gardens, blazing autumn foliage among tall native timbers, rock formations washed by cascading water, perfect Japanese cameos, the harmony of a native bush garden, all are represented in The Great Gardens of Australia.”
