A bit of a side track: I mentioned above about Carngham Station, which is a Thoroughbread Horse Stud (also Merino Stud and Cattle Stud). It is only a few K's from my house.
It was recently for sale but has been withdrawn from sale, but I thought you might like to see one of the finest examples of a Period Mansion in Australia. It is still a family home and has been continuosly since 1917.
Go here, then click on the photo of the house and take the Virtual Tour of the interior of the Mansion. Stunning!
