Uncorking the Australian Wine Industry’s Specialist Library

Rosanne Dunne — Wed, 14 Oct 2026 03:21:10 +0000

The Australian Wine Research Institute (AWRI), at Urrbrae, South Australia, houses the John Fornachon Memorial Library, a specialist library focused on the technical aspects of oenology, viticulture, agricultural business, sensory and food science. The library is primarily focused on the needs of Australian grapegrowers and winemakers, as well as the researchers and extension staff of the AWRI. However, our collections spill over into other agricultural, food and beverage industries, and owned resources are shared with clients from government departments, consultants, students, educators, and the general public through our document delivery service.

In February 2026, Edith Cowan University (ECU) opened its new state-of-the-art City Campus in the heart of Perth’s CBD. The ECU City Campus is guided by the Life Layers narrative, developed through collaboration between Whadjuk Noongar Elders and ECU. This framework expresses the deep connections between land, water, culture and community through five interconnected layers—Ngarda (Earth/Subterranean), Kep (Water), Kaata (Hills), Moort Boodja (Community/Ecosystem) and Djinda Worlal (Stars/Sky). These layers shape the campus’s design, identity, architecture and cultural storytelling.
