Monument to Wheat Pioneers in NSW
The exact spot of Alan Cunningham’s first NSW wheat plot is found in the Sydney Botanical Gardens. From that start, about 130 years of crop growth culminated in 1924 25 with 59 785 000 bushels of wheat and 532 030 tons of hay, valued at £23 154 35, making wheat Australia’s key primary industry after wool. The progress owes much to William Farrer's work and to the settlers in tillage.
