DESCRIPTION

Discover the Native Flora of Southwest Victoria

Explore the unique plants of Victoria’s southwest coast with the Plants of the Great South West book by Kevin Sparrow.
This updated 4th edition features 725 native species found within 20 km of the coast.

Sparrow makes plant ID simple with clear photos and practical notes. He covers local geology, bioregions, and the history that shaped this botanical hotspot. Each species entry offers key details for gardeners, walkers, and conservationists alike.

Importantly, this edition includes the six Gunditjmara seasons, weaving in First Nations knowledge. The stunning cover, illustrated by Gunditjmara artist Lee-Anne Clarke, features Murnong (yam daisies)—a symbol of cultural and ecological significance.

Want to grow your own natives? The book gives helpful tips on propagation and cultivation. You’ll also learn how to spot and manage invasive weeds common to the region.

Whether you’re restoring bushland, planning a native garden, or just curious, this compact guide belongs on your shelf—or in your backpack.

Beautiful, practical, and deeply connected to place, the Plants of the Great South West book is your essential field guide to this remarkable region.
