In 2000 Australia, the country with not one native variety of grape exported more wine to the UK than France.

The first grape vine cuttings were brought over the ocean from England around the Cape of Good Hope to Australia in 1788 on the first fleet.

However, after many tried and tested attempts at grape farming and wine making in this new land, it wasn’t until the 1820s that the first wines became available for sale in Australia.

Due to Australia being such a large country with many soil types and climates, it is possible to produce all types of grapes.

Land Market Report: January Land Sales

The rural land market in North Texas has had a fairly stale start to the year, with the number of transactions closed being minimal so far. There has been an increase in call volume from buyers, and some are turning into contracts, but I feel like we are still a little slower than we usually are at this time of the year. The “experts” are expecting fewer transactions in 2024 as compared to 2023, and they may be correct, because election years always seem to be slower. Once the election is over, and regardless of who wins, things seem to pick up once again. It is a strange phenomena that just seems to happen every four years.

With the amount of growth that we are currently experiencing here, I do not expect things to get any cheaper. More people means more houses, and they have to have land to build those houses on.
