This 7th generation working farm was settled in the 1860s and was amongst the first land selected at Murphy's Creek. The farm consists of mainly dry land farming with an irrigation property nearby to compliment it. We run merino ewes joined to dorset rams. Grains and export oaten hay are grown as well as providing our own needs.
