WOODLANA STATION CYGNET PARKS KANGAROO ISLAND
September 19 2017
Media mogul Kerry Stokes and veteran cattleman Peter Murray are selling the largest farming portfolio on South Australia's Kangaroo Island with industry sources putting the value of their 7821-hectare Cygnet Park Farms and livestock as high as $50 million.
Mr Stokes is one of a host of billionaires who have invested heavily in large scale farming assets, especially those tied to beef cattle production, with mining magnate Gina Rinehart and retailers Brett Blundy and Gerry Harvey having all snapped up major agricultural assets in recent years.
Cygnet Park Farms comprises 7800 hectares of prime mixed-use farming aggregated over a decade.

The cattle, sheep and cropping aggregation, which the Seven Group executive chairman has compiled with his long-time business partner over the past decade, comes to market at a time of rising prime farmland values, especially properties tied to protein-rich food production like beef and lamb and to wool production.
The offering of Cygnet Park Farms, through Elders Real Estate, includes a herd of about 3300 cattle and 15,700 sheep and is expected to attract interest from international corporate investors and local farming groups. The island is renowned for its local produce, which is marketed under the Kangaroo Island brand and is especially sought-after in Asia.

First established in 2007 under the stewardship of Mr Murray, the aggregation has been steadily expanded over the years, most recently in June 2015 when Woodlana Station, a 2823-hectare landholding at Cassini on the island's central north coast was acquired for $4.7 million.
In 2010, the pair acquired Clifton Downs, a 550-hectare grazing property on Kangaroo Island. Other properties in the portfolio include Long Hill Station.
Mr Murray, one of Australia's most experienced cattlemen, said he had decided to bring the portfolio to market in order to focus on other business interests as he transitions into retirement. He turns 81 next month.
I am very proud of the quality portfolio of both real estate and livestock assets that we have built in one of the world's most pristine agricultural environments. I will retain a smaller portfolio of properties on the Island moving forward as I remain convinced it is one of the best livestock production regions in Australia and has enormous opportunities to deliver high margin, quality produce to the world.

MILO2 Cruising Along Goolwa Beach
EPISODE 2 - The Limestone Coast - A South Australian Beach Adventure
Get Your Copy ????
With Roothy’s beloved Milo at her final resting place at the National Motor Museum in Birdwood SA, John with good mates Gleno & Kenno continue onto the next stage of their adventure. The Limestone Coast.
With crystal-clear lagoons amongst magnificent stunning coastal scenery, South Australia’s south-eastern region is full of awesome 4WD tracks and amazing camp site destinations.
Things don’t go to plan though. With Milo 2’s arrived delayed, Roothy gets the keys for the first few days of the trip to a thumping Jeep Cherokee V8. Unaccustomed to a plush ride, heated seats and power just about everything, does he cope with the big V8? Hell yeh! And with a huge grin. But as soon as Milo 2 arrives, John was back in his element in another green 40-series LandCruiser. Like hand in glove, Roothy and Milo 2 become one and begin a new lifelong partnership together.
Episode 2 is a beach adventure that explores the best parts of South Australia we so often drive straight past. With some of the most amazing 4WDing you will ever see, it’ll leave you hanging out for more!

CAMPING AT COCKATOO LAKE
This is a great campsite near Naracoorte in South Australia. You just make a small donation to stay here and you get to enjoy the big grassy sites and sunsets over the lake while the cockatoo's are screeching.
There is a toilet here, bins, fire pits and a boat ramp to put your tinny in and go fishing. Plenty of yabbies and fish in the lake.
We stopped in for a night after exploring the Naracoorte caves and big swimming lake in town. Loved it!!
Cheers - Justin & Bec

The Murray Mouth South Australia (drone footage)
The Murray Mouth and Hindmarsh Island Bridge, South Australia, January 2017.
Wirritjin
This video is about Wirritjin. A Ramindjeri concept meaning Black Fella / White Fella Dreaming Together, or Spirit Knows no colour.
Chris Blackmore and Kurt Mountain share their views on the importance of the Sacred Fire and the proposed cultural centre at Wulde Wairri, Murray Lagoon Sanctuary on Kangaroo Island, and the greater impact of sharing culture globally toward greater unity. The concept of Wirritjin was the life work of recently deceased spiritual warrior of the Ramindjeri people, Karno Walker, who initiated the Sacred Fire and created the space for all people to unite on his land.
I am supporting Karno's wife Christine to make this dream a reality. For more information on the project, and how you can help, visit
Kangaroo Island
Kangaroo Island is Australia's third-largest island, after Tasmania and Melville Island. It lies in the state of South Australia 112 km southwest of Adelaide. Its closest point to the mainland is Snapper Point in Backstair Passage which is 13.5 km from the Fleurieu Peninsula.
Once occupied by Australian Aborigines, the native population disappeared after the land became an island following rising sea levels several thousand years ago. It was subsequently resettled from the early 19th century onwards, at first casually by sealers and whalers, and then as part of the colony of South Australia from 1836.
