Many of the images as well as some of the data used in this Project came from various publications of the Murray-Darling Basin Commission
Les Cartledge
Waikerie Depot Manager for The Angas Park Fruit Company Pty Ltd also supplied me with many images.
Dr John Kirk
Assistant Chief Division of Plant Industry CSIRO Canberra allowed me to photograph vines that I had pruned at his winery 'Clonakilla' in Murrumbateman for a section on pruning did not end up being included as the project evolved, and also supplied me with some reference material
Yass Shire Councillor Ken Helm of Helm's Wines Murrumbateman also allowed me to photograph anything I needed and supplied me with the history of viticulture in the district last century.
Last but by no means least to all those battlers that managed to start such an industry in what is basically desert with a river running through it, and to the pickers and pruners etc who keep it going today.
