About this audio guide
This guide to Nikola Estate in the Swan Valley near Perth follows one Croatian immigrant, Nikola Yukich, from a nineteen twenty-four arrival with nothing to two hectares of hand-planted vines by nineteen twenty-nine. It traces four generations of the Yukich family, a wood-cutting business, a table-grape empire, and a neighbouring estate whose vines date to eighteen thirty-six. You will hear how a fence line once separated two pieces of the same original vineyard. Best heard standing among the vines, looking toward the old estate buildings across the property.
