Billionaires, North American pension funds and some of Australia’s most prominent pastoral families have claimed stakes in NSW farmland, according to The Weekly Times’ 10th annual Who Owns Australia’s Farm investigation.
Leading the list of landholders is the Brinkworth family, whose Willoway Farming operation spans 903,000 hectares across far western NSW and the Riverina. Their holdings include Frome Downs and Lakeside stations near Broken Hill (608,000 hectares), Uardry Station near Hay (35,000 hectares), and the Western Lands Division Aggregation of 10 farms near White Cliffs (260,000 hectares).
