Australia's First Families of Wine celebrates eleven of Australia's most iconic and important wine families and the vineyards and businesses they have built. With more than 5,000 hectares under vine, the families operate in sixteen wine-growing regions around Australia. They make many of Australia's most distinctive wines and all are household names: Brown Brothers, Tahbilk, Campbells, Yalumba, Henschke, d'Arenberg, Jim Barry, Taylors, McWilliam's, Tyrell's and Howard Park. Australia's First Families of Wine showcases the colourful histories of these spectacular vineyards and historic buildings, exploring the wine industry's transformation into an export-earning powerhouse and detailing the challenges of taking old family businesses into the 21st century.

Great Properties of the Riverina and Upper Murray follows on from the bestselling Great Properties of Country Victoria and Great Properties of Tasmania, and tells the story of sixteen significant properties in the region. Illustrated throughout with sumptuous photographs, it showcases estates from the rolling green hills of the Upper Murray, where campfire tales are still told about the exploits of the Man from Snowy River, to the vast plains of the Riverina region to the west. Many readers will recognise landmark properties along the Murray (Tom Groggin, Tintaldra, Tooma Station and Khancoban Station), south of Holbrook (Upper Wantagong and Woomargama Station), the region around Corowa (Quat Quatta, Moroco West and Collendina) and the northern Riverina (Nap Nap, Tupra, Burrabogie and Boonoke). Some have stood since the middle of the nineteenth century, when fortunes were made and lost as farmers tried to make a fist of the capricious grazing land west of the Great Dividing Range. Great Properties of the Riverina and Upper Murray details the extraordinary origins of these places and their many transformations as generations of inhabitants battled drought, flood, pestilence and market collapse, as farmers tried different crops and breeds of sheep and cattle. It was the development of the Merino at Wanganella in the Riverina that opened up worldwide markets for wool. Little wonder that, for three decades, the face of a famous ram at Uardry adorned the Australian one-shilling coin. Great Properties of the Riverina and Upper Murray brings these estates to life in all their grandeur to tell stories of adaptation and change, and reveal their owners' and occupants' ambitions and dreams.
