South Australia is home to some of the world's oldest continuously producing vines. Phylloxera has never set in here due to the strict quarantine protocols established in the 20th century. Prior to that time, trade was restricted by England. In the 19th century, having learned from our example, the British made sure that each state only traded with Britain, not with each other. None of the disease pressure faced by New South Wales and Victoria made it to the state of South Australia to this day!
