In his work for the Victorian Department of Agriculture, Tindale devised experiments, obtained essential scientific equipment and established contact with the horticultural industry. Experimenting with ceiling-mounted coils and brine recirculation allowed him to achieve precise temperature control and high humidity conditions. These methods were adopted widely in numerous Victorian cool stores. Tindale's work contributed substantially to the increase in Victoria's fruit export trade. In addition he provided advice to growers of numerous horticultural products in adopting new storage practices and developing export trades. In 1958 he acquired the property Pallants Hill in the Dandenong Ranges, where the native trees had been underplanted with exotics such as Rhododendron and Camellia. He developed this into one of the finest gardens in the district: it is now the George Tindale Memorial Garden and open to the public. 1926 1926 Education - Bachelor of Agricultural Science (BAgSc), University of Melbourne 1926 1956 Career position - Research Officer, Victorian Department of Agriculture 1956 1968 Career position - Leader of the post-harvest section, Horticultural Research Station, Victorian Department of Agriculture 1968 1968 Life event - Retired Victorian Department of Agriculture, Colony and State of Victoria (1872 - 1985)
