dunblane pastoral holdings
Growing wool has been our business for 4 generations over 100 years. We are proud to be a part of the history of our district and to continue the family wool growing legacy. As socially responsible producers we comply with the standards of animal husbandry being discussed on a global platform. As environmentally conscious producers, we advocate the protection and sustainability of our environment and see ourselves as stewards of our land.
The natural beauty of our land and habitat is shared with visitors to the region through our "off the track" campsites. We also offer experiences that enhance their outback adventure.
