Isis Downs Station

[3] Govett and Thomson utilised Chinese coolies, blackbirded South Sea Islanders and Aboriginal women and children as labour.

[12] The Consolidated Pastoral Company acquired Isis Downs in 1987, at which time the property occupied an area of 1,227 square kilometres (474 sq mi) after a series of land resumptions by the state government[13] for an estimated A$10 million.

[14] Consolidated placed Isis Downs on the market following a decision by Kerry Packer to focus on beef cattle and meat processing operations.

At the time the 2,200 square kilometres (849 sq mi) was stocked with 80,000 merino sheep and 10,000 mixed cattle, and was offered for an estimated A$20 million.

[14] The sale was not successful and in 2004 the company decided to remove all sheep from the 2,327-square-kilometre (898 sq mi) property and introduced 6,000 Charolais Brahman cross females with Angus bulls.
