Australia’s largest contiguous sheep station
Elders has been appointed by Jumbuck Pastoral to undertake the divestment of a contiguous aggregation of three pastoral stations spanning 1,289,700 hectares.
The aggregation is an iconic powerhouse of wool and sheep meat production, having the prescribed capacity to carry over 83,300 sheep. It is located in a core sheep-producing district of South Australia’s Far North pastoral zone, supporting large-scale, low-input merino enterprises with demonstrated long-term resilience and strategic highway access.
