A biography of Ezio Luisini. In 1908, aged 17, Ezio Luisin left the central Italian mountains of Umbria to join his father in Western Australia. His father had emigrated 14 years earlier in search of gold, but instead of striking it rich, he had laboured for years as a bush worker. After many years of hard work, Ezio was able to open a drapery business. In time he would pioneer the wine industry in the Wanneroo area.
