Our area is celebrating 50 years of settlement in 2011, and it was WATER that brought us all here. This area was the biggest project that the Rural Finance and Settlement Commission undertook, with just over 7,000 hectares of land acquired by the government. With this land the Rural Finance and Settlement Commission set about developing 89 dairy farms and 82 orchards.These came complete with a new house and shedding supplied, plus for the dairy farms a milking shed.
The downturn in the Canning industry has seen the number of orchards diminish to only 8 families today, with some running more than one original block. Although the dairy industry has not been devastated there are considerably less operating dairy farms today. A major contributor to this has been the last 10 years of differing stages of drought (WATER). Invergordon's main function was to produce food with it's abundance of irrigation WATER, drought never entered our fore father's heads
