About this listen

In this episode of Riverland Women we chat with Amanda Wells, a PhD candidate researching the environmental history of citrus growing in the Riverland from 1948 to 1970. Amanda reveals that the name "Riverland" was initially a brand name for oranges and only became the region's name in the 1960s. She discusses her research journey, the evolution of the citrus industry, and the personal and historical influences which led her to this topic.
