Uardry

[6] In 1864 the property was acquired by Thomas and William Wragge along with John and James Hearne for £1,000; they converted Uardry into a sheep station.

[7] As his partners died Mills acquired their shares of the enterprise and eventually was the sole owner of Uardry.

In 1937 the property was regarded as one of the most highly improved and best irrigated, with 38 ground tanks, 11 wells and 17 sub-artesian bores equipped with windmills and troughs to supply water to stock.

[8] Brinkworth intended to use the water rights that Uardry held on the Murrumbidgee to use the property for cropping, to grow corn and silage, and to drought proof the rest of his livestock holdings.

[9] In 2013 Brinkworth purchased 18,000 head of cattle for A$ million[10] from drought affected properties on the Barkly Tableland owned by the Australian Agricultural Company.
