Strathmore Station

The station is the largest single pastoral lease in the state.

It is capable of carrying over 50,000 head of cattle and is currently running Droughtmaster-Brahman cross breeders.

[1] In 1929 the state owned Strathmore was put up for auction and sold for £25,000 to T. Sanderson of Melbourne.

[2] Prior to 1953 Messrs Gilchrist, Watt and Cunningham made the decision to convert the entire herd at Strathmore of 20,000 breeders to poll shorthorns.

Harris was granted a permit to clear and cultivate a 23,100 hectares (57,081 acres) portion of the property to cultivate with sorghum using a water allocation from the Gilbert River.
