GENERAL INFO
(please note that this is general information and may not be specific to your role)
Redbank North’s 1300 acres (520 hectares) have for over 100 years been recognised as some of this country’s finest grazing land. James and Fiona Middleton became the landowners and operators of Redbank North in 1979.
For the past 35 years some of these acres have provided the ideal environment for spelling racehorses and broodmares. Due to the success of this spelling operation the horse area was increased in 1998 to provide a natural environment for the growing out of weanlings and yearlings.
To complete this picture, the Middleton family purchased Wirrilla in 2007, an additional 520 acres (208 hectares) of rich alluvial river flats on the banks of the Murrumbidgee River
