Adelaide's Park Lands have long been home to large events, as well as numberless small, private encounters. Until now, no book has been published to document this wealth of social activity. In The Adelaide Park Lands, Sumerling recounts tales both enchanting and bizarre from the time of earliest European settlement until present days.

The Adelaide Park Lands Act 2005 states that each State authority (as defined under the Act) must prepare a management plan within 2-years after adoption of the Adelaide Park Lands Management Strategy. That strategy 'Towards 2020', prepared by the Adelaide Park Lands Authority, has now been adopted. For the cultural heritage institutions under the care and control of the Minister for the Arts, Arts SA has developed a draft Management Plan which outlines the existing purpose of the Art Gallery of South Australia, Migration Museum, South Australian Museum and the State Library of South Australia and their important and historic role in preserving the park lands for the benefit of present and future generations. Public consultation is invited in February 2012. All comments can be made to Arts SA at the contact details below. A public meeting will be held at the end of the consultation period.

This book is about Adelaide, South Australia. It is a city surrounded by a renowned green belt of park lands, conceived in 1837, a year after the city was settled. But access to this estate has been exploited and alienated ever since, despite many community protests. This work exposes South Australian politicians' and planners' exploitative strategy and duplicity across a 20 year period, 1998 to 2018. It explores how commercial, local government and state interests have manipulated Adelaide's inner-city public land management to their benefit. It is a revealing study, not only of the recent past, but also delivering a roadmap describing an improved management future for this much-admired city asset.--Back cover.

"Whether a small plot in the backyard of an inner-urban home or a capital city's sprawling botanic garden, Australians have long desired a patch of dirt to plough or enjoy. 'Reading the garden' explores our deep affection for gardens and gardening and illuminates their numerous meanings and uses from European settlement to the late twentieth century."--Cover.

This book tells the story of the renaissance of the Kaurna language, the language of Adelaide and the Adelaide Plains in South Australia, principally over the earliest period up until 2000, but with a summary and brief discussion of developments from 2000 until 2016. It chronicles and analyses the efforts of the Nunga community, and interested others, to reclaim and relearn a linguistic heritage on the basis of mid-nineteenth-century materials. This study is breaking new ground. In the Kaurna case, very little knowledge of the language remained within the Aboriginal community. Yet the Kaurna language has become an important marker of identity and a means by which Kaurna people can further the struggle for recognition, reconciliation and liberation. This work challenges widely held beliefs as to what is possible in language revival and questions notions about the very nature of language and its development.
