[2] The first European known to have visited the Kondinin area was Captain John Septimus Roe, Surveyor General of the Swan River Colony on his 1848–1849 expedition to examine the south coast.

[3] In 1949 the bulk wheat bin in town and another at Notting, located about 2 miles (3 km) from Kondinin, were both filled after a good season with excellent yields in the area despite the recorded rainfall of the previous year being only 10 inches (254 mm).

[4] Kondinin has a population of about 300 and is a key agricultural centre for a district whose main activities are wheat and sheep farming.

In surveys, it was preferred over consultants, suppliers, state departments of agriculture and accountants as a source of reliable and impartial information.

[8] The Kondinin Group runs an online bookstore[9] that sells manuals on practical farm skills, teaching guides on agricultural industries and other materials, and publishes a magazine;[10] both channels are used to disseminate Kondinin Group's research and related training.
