The Banksia Book & Farm

Banksia are amongst Australia's most iconic plant-known to the generations who have lived there-and, through writing and art, to many who have never visited the land. The Banksia book describes and illustrates all 78 known Banksias. It provides the history of their discovery, their evolution, how to find and grow them and how they have inspired artists and artisans. With some 400 beautiful color illustrations it is a complete, up-to-date guide to these unique, fascinating plants.

The Farm and B&B Experience: Possums and bandicoots, birds, frogs and reptiles have moved into the thriving ecosystem created when Kevin and Kathy planted a variety of Australian plants (mostly banksias and dryandras). Interactive talks allow you to experience the hands-on feel and taste of banksias, their evolution, pollination, discovery and aboriginal usage. And, for peace and quiet, great bird & wildflower strolls and top quality country comfort, you can enjoy luxurious accommodations in a unique stone homestead overlooking the ancient Porongurup Ranges.
