The name ‘Merungle’ comes from a property just north of Booligal in the Western Division of New South Wales. The poem “Hay and Hell and Booligal” by A. B. “Banjo” Patterson which mentions the town was published in The Bulletin, 25 April 1896 The property was one of the holdings owned by Peter’s mother’s family and home to a Merino Sheep Stud.

The farm began as a 40 acre block. It has grown to 200 acres, some leased from neighbors, with the last 60 acres coming on-board in February 2006. We have some small holding paddocks and a sufficient number of larger paddocks now, so that some areas can be rested. Laneways, yards and shearing shed complete the facilities.

On The Farm

The On-farm calendar includes visitors by appointment, annual shearing, community shearing day and husbandry activities including birthing, weaning, feeding and matings. Also any maintenance for farm and livestock.
