Alan Hickinbotham's has been a remarkable life. From humble beginnings as a school teacher's son growing up in rural South Australia, he became first a renowned sportsman - representing South Australia in football - and then a successful businessman. He built Hickinbotham Homes - from the ground up - into South Australia's largest buider of homes, and has also established a burgeoning wine empire. This is the story of one man's rise, through hard work and perseverance, to a position of success. It charts the highs and lows, the dreams, the determination, his involvement with civic affairs, and his commitment to his family.

Praise for From the Ground Up from Hugh Stretton
It's a joy to find Alan Hickinbotham as good at autobiography as he has been at football, building houses, attracting immigrants, making wine, and family life. He is one of the most successful entrepeneurs. I know him as a public-spirited, a ready help to other innovators, and fair-minded about him competitors. His book has some unusual qualities. Its style suits its subject: a rat-tat-tat of plain words in short clear sentences pack as much fact and suspense per page as the best whodunnits. He details his successes and failures and thoughts and feelings about them with very little boasting or resentment. And among his many themes I dearly hope that our urban planners will heed his advice about Adelaide's future.
