Once a part of the legendary million acre Dunlop Station, first in the world to complete a sheep shearing by mechanical means in 1888, Trilby Station is now 320,000 acres, running Merino sheep and an extensive goat enterprise.

The Murray family purchased Dunlop Station in the mid-1930s. It was once part of Samuel McCaughey’s huge sprawl of properties in NSW and QLD. It was also the site of the world’s first mechanical shearing in 1888. Being a million acres in those days, the station records show that in good years they shore up to 277,000 sheep a year!  

Dunlop Station has recently opened to the public with morning tea at 11am followed by a guided tour of their shearing shed. See their stone homestead and store – daily except Monday and Wednesday. Staying ‘next door’ with Liz and Gary at Trilby Station makes perfect sense as it’s a quick 10-minute drive away.

Trilby Station is situated near the village of Louth, 125km southwest of Bourke, NSW Australia, on the Darling River Run. They are well-signposted on the western/northern side of the river.
