French Pioneers Highlight Forbes Spirit in Blue Mountain Echo
W E Vincent of Forbes lauds French digging in the Forbes district noting Auguste Nicolas and two Frenchmen who cultivated Champsaur vineyard in a Lachlan River valley. The Champsaur estate uses a 40 000 gallon per hour irrigation system and yields about 10 000 gallons annually. The piece recalls the two Frenchmen who blazed trails around Forbes as Joseph Guyon visits, praising Australia’s opportunities for determined men.
