A call to history, this circa 1850's property, a treasure in South Australian agriculture has an exceptional story to tell. Originally owned by Donald Gollan in 1857 the land measured 3,212 acres and was named the Point Sturt Estate. In 1862 the Estate changed hands to Robert Barr Smith. Purchased in 1888 by John Howard Angas, the property became one of the first to hold Short Horn Angas cattle, now famous worldwide. In 1913 the property was sold off as 9 separate farms and bought by Alfred Scarfe, a director of Harris Scarfe Department stores. In 1963 it was sold to the notorious Sidney Kidman family who ran a cattle company known as Point Sturt Pty Ltd.
