The book details the history of Kings Park, from its early struggle to get established to its current status as the most visited tourist destination in Western Australia, an internationally- respected research facility and the State's symbol of the ultimate sacrifice many of its people made in time of war. The fascinating history gives the reader multiple insight into the story of this public icon so dear to many Western Australians including the important place the Kings Park land has held in the history of the Noongar people. The men that shaped its destiny, the research facilities, public use, memorials and many other aspects bring the story of this the largest public park in a metropolitan city in the world to life.
