Everyone has a story to tell...

As historians, we embrace the opportunity to examine and write the stories
of Australian life, connecting the past to the present. We are committed
to producing histories that are relevant, readable and readily accessible
to a range of audiences.

Principal historian Dr Fay Woodhouse is professionally accredited and
has wide-ranging experience in researching, analysing, interpreting and
presenting historical material. Projects large and small are undertaken
for individuals, communities and corporations.

Fay has now written the commissioned histories of two of Australia's most iconic wineries. The Story Behind the Stripe: a 100 Year history of d'Arenberg was published in February 2012 to celebrate 100 years of Osborn winemaking in the McLaren Vale, South Australia. One of Victoria's oldest and heritage-listed wineries, Tahbilk, was established in Nagambie in 1860. Its history was published in 2010 as Vintage Stories: a 150 Year and is a fascinating story of Tahbilk Vineyard and Winery. These two celebrated wineries are part of Australia's First Families of Wine; together the Purbrick and Osborn families have more than 250 years of winemaking experience between them.
