soil for australian plants

Hi,

I just purchased some Australian plants (Leucadendron 'Red gem', Regelia megacephala, and an Eremophila) and would like some advice on soil amendments.

I live in Los Angeles, 2 miles from the coast, with clay soil. I need to add 4 inches of something (gravel, sand, compost, leaf mold?) to bring the planting bed up to the level of the pavement. What would be the best amendment for the Australian plants?

Thanks in advance for any advice,

Angela Lee
