One of Australia’s outstanding privately owned
intensive agricultural portfolios

Created by Four Arrows Group over the past 20 years, and based on the premise that, “Australia is a primary producer. Farming and livestock are part of the backbone of our economy and development”, the Group established a network of six large properties, with a diverse range of interests, straddling one of Australia’s leading river systems, the Murrumbidgee River.

The Group recognized the importance of water in agriculture – as a means of guaranteeing supply, and increasing sustainability and profitability.

The Four Arrows vision; “Maximise production through access to secure irrigation water”

The Four Arrows portfolio includes; North & South Tahara, Binnowee Dairy, all located near Wagga, the renowned Tubbo Station at Darlington Point, the dynamic Toronga Station near Hay and the large Belvedere Almond Farm at Narrandera.

All properties either front or have immediate access to the Murrumbidgee River.

TUBBO STATION, DARLINGTON POINT

One of the largest remaining holdings in the Riverina area of southern NSW, Tubbo Station dates back to the 1840’s. Since then the property has only had three owners, which is testimony to its outstanding features.

It is the size and scale of Tubbo, together with the water entitlements attached which has seen the Station develop into a dynamic, highly intensive irrigation farming and grazing entity.
