Tour Highlights

Kicking off in Darwin, we will head south on the Stuart Highway on a 1600 kilometre, 7 day trek to Alice Springs visiting some of the Northern Beef Industry’s iconic stations. 

NT Beef Tour 2020

Finishing in Alice Springs, there is the opportunity to stay on for the annual Northern Territory Cattleman’s Association Conference which attracts a large contingent of beef producers from across Australia: https://www.ntca.org.au/conferences

While we are still locking in the full itinerary to include a mix of Northern Territory's iconic beef operations, research and diversification initiatives, here is a little of what will be an unforgettable experience:

  • Eva Valley Meats – Paddock to plate business with on-site abattoir supplying an ethically raised local product to Darwin and surrounding areas.
  • Bridge Creek Station – Don & Kelly White operate a cattle breeding and trading operation with an export holding facility.
  • Tipperary Station – An iconic aggregation covering 386,000 hectares. A cattle operation that includes a feed lot and boasts ecotourism business, large scale irrigated hay, a mango orchard and a cotton trial currently underway.
  • Maryfield Station – Northstar Pastoral, owned by Colin Ross, is a pastoral operation running 80,000 head of Brahmans. They are currently looking at leucaena development and feedlotting in the tropics.
  • Hayfield Station – The Dyer family operate a 15,000 head cattle breeding operation and helicopter mustering business.
  • Neutral Junction Station – The Frith family are spreading the climatic risk by diversifying some of their country into an irrigation development.
