THE COAST AND HINTERLAND IN FLOWER, is a comprehensive colour-photo botanical field guide written by Ian Robert McCann and published by the Victorian National Parks Association. Serving as an essential pictorial directory, the handbook details 372 prominent native plant species found throughout the coastal and near-coastal regions of Victoria, Australia, particularly south of the Princes Highway.
Each entry features clear photographic references alongside essential botanical identifiers, including both common and scientific names, brief growth descriptions, flowering seasons, and specific distribution records. Additionally, about half of the publication is dedicated to analyzing local plant communities, helping enthusiasts and professionals recognize distinct ecosystems. The guide is further enriched by introductory sections that provide practical guidelines on seed collection and propagation, making it a valuable tool for native habitat restoration and conservation projects.
DID YOU KNOW? The region of Victoria, Australia located south of the Princes Highway is defined by its dramatic coastlines, rich maritime history, and pristine natural wilderness. In the west, this area encompasses the world-famous Great Ocean Road and the rugged Shipwreck Coast, where historic maritime towns like Port Fairy and Warrnambool sit alongside sheer limestone cliffs and wild ocean beaches. Moving east, the landscape transitions into the rolling hills of the Bellarine Peninsula and the vibrant waterfront hub of Geelong, providing a gateway to popular surf culture and coastal villages. Further east past Western Port Bay, the highway creates a boundary for South Gippsland and Phillip Island, a renowned sanctuary for native wildlife like the Penguin Parade. This entire southern corridor culminates at Wilsons Promontory National Park, the southernmost tip of the Australian mainland, which offers spectacular granite peaks, dense rainforests, and secluded beaches that remain highly preserved.
