About this audio guide
This guide to Mandoon Estate in Caversham, on Perth's Swan Valley, follows one riverside plot from a colonial land grant in eighteen forty to today's working winery. It traces Western Australia's first Surveyor General, who planted an early vineyard here almost as a hobby, through to the family who later turned the same ground into a brewery, restaurant and hotel. Along the way it asks who a piece of colonial land was really meant to reward, and who ended up profiting from it. Listen for the label on the bottle in front of you.
