From the late 1930's Carrick Hill was the home of one of Adelaide's most prestigious couples, Adelaide heiress Ursula [nee Barr-Smith] and successful businessman Edward Hayward. Their foothills mansion, with its glorious gardens was alive with social gatherings at which guests from all walks of life were welcomed and entertained. The house was full of antiques and paintings by notable Australian and French artists. The estate was bequeathed to the people of South Australia, and this book brings alive the glory and beauty of Australia's most intact twentieth century house museum.
