Tough, Thorny, and Fiercely Resilient - The Spirit of the High-Country 💪.

Matagouri is tough, thorny, and enduring, just like the people who shaped the high country and created the original Matagouri Ball. Once a year, musterers, neighbours, and station hands would gather for music, laughter, and stories that carried on until dawn.

“The legendary Matagouri Ball had an atmosphere of its own and attracted visitors from places fifty to seventy miles away. To get there we had to make a round trip of over one hundred miles. But we were always certain of a good night’s entertainment.” - Peter Newton, Wayleggo 1947.

The Matagouri Ball was no ordinary dance. It was a celebration of hard work, camaraderie, and the sheer joy of being together, and now we’d love you to join us as we carry this high-country tradition forward.

Crossing the Esk River 🐑

Using truck trailers to build temporary bridges has been a useful tool to get our sheep safely across rivers for decades.

A practical solution that has served our farm for generations and continues to prove its worth today.
