The dramatic and colourful story of how a waterless wasteland was transformed into Australia's most fertile garden. It is the story of the Murray Valley, now a sparkling land jewelled with orchards and vineyards. This was made possible by the faith and courage of a few hopeful people, by new scientific methods that developed cultivation and made significant advances in combating pests and diseases, and by irrigation.
