Industries

The whole region is a major tourist destination with its history and unique, unheralded beauty. But it has also become a mecca for viticulture as winemakers develop the distinct characteristics that a high rainfall, cool crisp climate gives its product. The region is still very strong in its agriculture production, particularly apples, pears, cherries, fresh vegetables, potatoes, beef cattle and sheep, with cereal crops and lucerne grown on the Angas Plains and Bremer Valley areas.
