The Living End ... Nature's Trail

...is a place in Adelaide to experience life and celebrate the living. It celebrates the diversity of the animal kingdom of which humanity is just a part. It celebrates the plants that feed us, shade us and colour our world. It celebrates living wine and the good life with which it is linked. It is not just a series of exhibits. It is a place to have experiences, to have picnics, to have food, to have wine and to have life. Chat to a chimpanzee, explore an indoor rainforest and understand more about Australian wine, all in a day's walk on "The Living End ... Nature's Trail."
