For decades, Australia rode on the sheep’s back, with our wool production providing prosperity and some of the most enviable living standards in the world.
But while that era of the golden fleece is long over, one historic Hunter property is keeping an Aussie tradition alive… and expanding in the process.

Great to see such a positive local story! Well done to the reporter and cameraman for their quality work. The history, the passion of the Collaroy station manager – just great news and good viewing.
Thanks Brant – it is very good to see a positive side to the Rural sector!
I was one of the workers there – actually the only female (hair had been cut off for charity) and the blokes are a good crew to work with. Shame as Tony said – hard to get young ones in – only 3 workers out of 12 working were under 33 yrs of age!
Seems the young lot don’t want to earn their money the hard way anymore!
As the Wool roller working on the table – at 43yrs the next youngest!
And yes, they did some wonderful shots of the place, and so pleased to see a friend of mine – Col Morrow – get his dream of working here – it is a wonderful historic place.
Good gate swinging Harry!
Great story and great people, sad that the younger ones are not interested. I am also glad this place exists so our heritage stays alive.
One of those young men is my grandson
One very proud nanna
