RMWAH buys Henbury Station, Alice Springs
July 5th, 2011Food Freedom Blog
June 6th, 2011American woman Rady Ananda runs an interesting website dedicated to discussion of food production issues, called ‘Food Freedom’.

Tanumbirini station for sale
May 18th, 2011Tanumbirini Station is to be auctioned by Ray White Rural in Brisbane on Friday 20th May. The 5,000 square kilometre station is estimated to carry around 25,000 breeders – perhaps over-optimistic given the soil and rainfall in this region (between Daly Waters and Cape Crawford, NT).

The story focuses on the rise in cattle station prices and […]

Andrew Cranswick, previous owner of Moola Bulla Station
December 8th, 2010Came across an interesting story in the Sydney Morning Herald. It concerns a Zimbabwean, Andrew Cranswick, who owned a part share in Moola Bulla cattle station from 2001 to 2006. Peter Camm’s colourful past also scores a mention. Andrew Cranswick has been investigated by the ATO for unpaid tax and has now been declared bankrupt by the Federal […]
