MARGARET RIVER
Introduction
Before the
suitability of vineyards was discovered Margaret River existed as a
service town for the dairy and timber industry. It was the classic sleepy
hollow, complete with private homes in the main business area and numerous
old wooden buildings.
But, the success of the wineries changed all that. The town rubbed the
sleep out of its eyes and while the rest of Australia was having a
recession, Margaret River and its surrounding district was booming.
Following the fame of the wines came the tourists, and they continue to
come from all over the world. The pressure was on, and so too was the
battle to control the growth.
