The devastating impact of our state’s bushfires, followed by the COVID-19 pandemic soon after – has required us to change and adapt. With this in mind, the role of botanic gardens has arguably never been more important – our scientific expertise and our horticultural curation of living collections and creation of special places has been greatly valued by many.

  • A Royal Murder
    A Royal Murder A Rebecca Keith Mystery � Sandra Winter-Dewhirst The Open Rebecca he early morning light bathed the tall grass that lined the Teighteenth hole. Rebecca stopped the car on the entrance road, just before it crossed the fairway. She wound down the window. A slight sea breeze caressed her face, and the pungent blend of salt and seaweed wafted into the car. The day was already warm. The temperature was forecast to reach thirty- eight degrees Celsius by mid-afternoon. It was going to be a hot day for golf. Rebecca smiled to herself at the quirkiness of the prestigious Royal Adelaide Golf Club having an access road that crossed a fairway, as well as a passenger-train line that dissected the first and second holes and ran behind the thirteenth. There were no fences, boom gates, or barriers within the course to separate the train track from the golfers. She glanced over to her right, beyond the clubhouse, to the mound that supported the Adelaide-to-Grange railway line. ‘Only in Adelaide,’ she said quietly to herself. ‘It’s a wonder no one has been killed.’ As Rebecca drove the winding road to the car park, she saw festive bunting lining the verandah of the low-slung bungalow clubhouse. A group of golfers putted on the practice green immediately in front. Others were sitting on wicker chairs scattered along the deep verandah, and more were milling about 1 in an adjacent marquee. While Rebecca was excited about the day ahead, she also felt a tinge of anxiety but couldn’t put her finger on why.
