Coupla things mate! if I may..<BR/>Firstly be aware that the Mt.Wood tip was, as described to me in 1963 by the Manager Mr. Thomas, the most valuable part of the property of 250,000 ac (640sqmiles). It didn't go broke!, it was resumed. It was part of a chain of many stations operated by 'old' Ian McLachlan. Mt.Woods sole purpose in the group was to contribute to the Managers retirement fund so it was the best managed property - with many very interested managers. I was fortunate enough to be there for shipping out 25,000 sheep by road train - now that was an experience any jackeroo would be happy not to repeat. It rained a few weeks later. These properties have some hugely amusing stories attached - The Thomas family know most of them.
