Description

From the time of signing of the Chaffey Agreement, the speed at which land was cleared, pumps installed, channels excavated, and crops plants would defy modern regulatory strictures and bureaucracy. The initial block owners' modest horticultural production fired them with enthusiasm for the future. In little time that euphoria turned into despair. This book provides a detailed and comprehensive account of the initial founding, early success and operational difficulties. It tells of corporate collapse, a Royal Commission and eventual salvation.
