Mending the Goulburn-Broken - The John Dainton Story

The achievements of John Dainton are well-known in the Goulburn Valley, a rich region for fruit, vegetables, dairy products and associated processing industries. The intensive irrigation used in the region has meant it has been threatened by salinity that could result in economic disaster.

John has lead a number of industry and natural resource management organisations in the development of salinity management and weed action plans and regional catchment, water quality and native vegetation management strategies.

The Land & Water Community Fellowship will allow John to document his story in a book to be shared with a wider audience.
