If you're looking for a general history of South Australia and its leading figures, "The Wakefield Companion to South Australian History" is for you. Of course, the vast majority of people aren't actually looking for a history of South Australia and its leading figures. And even if they were, my guess is that they would be more interested in the smutty, jawdroppingly shocking tales of South Australian history rather than a general history.

Still, if you are after non-eyebrow raising South Australian history, then you could do far worse then "The Wakefield Companion to South Australian History". ( )
