A Joy Forever: The Story of Kings Park and Botanic Garden
Dr Dorothy Erickson

'A Joy Forever', written by Western Australian historian Dr Dorothy Erickson, details the history of Kings Park. From its early establishment to becoming 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 a time of war.

This book also tells of the importance the Kings Park land has held in the history of the Nyoongar people of WA.
