Nice to get a mention in Peter Kenyon's Bank of IDEAS e-newsletter . The story included a link to my Donnybrook-Balingup Community Radio 102.1FM & 98.5FM "Talk of Our Shire" playlist. While radio is old tech, the ability to post content online for the record is a game changer. While our Western Tourist Radio stations have a limited range, program content is also online. Tourist and Community Radio are providing a voice for community and small business. "Regenerative Media" in action. https://soundcloud.com/dbcommunityradio/sets/talk-of-our-shire-2024

With roots deeply planted in Harvey, the orchards and dairies of our family’s farming history are now the backdrop to picturesque rows of vines at Harvey River Estate.

It was in 1928 on the banks of the Harvey River that the first seeds were sown. Almost 100-years and three generations later our family’s love of the land and region is as fervent as ever.

The wines of our family are uniquely expressive – hand crafted examples of the of the Geographe wine region. We produce wines with elegance and personality that express their sense of place, and our love of pristine fruit flavours.
