For generations, the land has yielded its bounty, primarily citrus and grapes, a fragile prosperity dependent on the careful management of water. The echoes of early soldier settlement schemes can still be felt in the layout of the orchards and the enduring spirit of self-reliance that characterises the people of Woorinen.
