In 1850, Thomas Hardy twisted a grape and turned it into gold. He was just a man, they say. Who walked from Devon to Australia with £30 in his pocket. When drought struck, he danced for rain. When floods came, he taught grapes to swim. And when fire raged, he doused it with wine. On his travels, young Hardy collected experiences like curiosities. He scratched the barnacles off a whale’s back. Carved an iceberg into artwork. That sense of adventure stayed on dry land. Asking, what if we did it this way? He was down under after all. Where better to flip things on their head.
