background WavErlEy Was originally part of thE nEighbouring historic EvErcrEEch propErty, thEn oWnEd by thE McKEnziE faMily. it Was a grazing propErty, Which Was continuEd by thE nExt oWnErs, thE claytons.

The Barber family upgraded Waverley into a dairy during the mid twentieth century. John Ross took over Waverley in 1985, when he ran a mixed farming operation, including cattle, sheep and poultry. The highly successful Waverley Murray Grey Stud operated from the Farm during this period, selling Stud cattle regularly to all States of Australia.

More recently, Waverley has been the home of the Arcadia Murray Grey Stud and now runs commercial Fat lambs and Cattle.

Waverley covers 174 hectares 430acres

WavErlEy is locatEd in thE north East of tasMania, in thE bEautiful shEltErEd EvErcrEEch vallEy, Which is part of thE fingal vallEy. it’s latitudE is 41.5 dEgrEEs south, thE EquivalEnt of MEditErranEan naplEs & barcElona, although pEoplE say thE cliMatE is MorE liKE provEncE.

The closest Towns are Mathinna and Fingal. Fingal is one of the oldest Australian Towns, being established in 1827. You drive past the historic two storey sandstone Georgian House of Malahide, a 10,000 acre Farm dating back to 1828, on the way to Waverley. Mathinna was a gold mining Town and became the third largest Town in Tasmania, after Hobart and Launceston, towards the end of the nineteenth century.

The closest City is Launceston, which is 1.5 hours away by good, bitumen roads or a little more than an hour by Forestry roads. Launceston airport is 1.25 hours away by good, bitumen roads.

There are a number of beautiful natural features around the area, including the Mathinna Falls, which consists of 4 separate cascades, each about 50 metres apart, falling a total of 80 metres.

Nearby to Waverley, are the Evercreech Falls and the Evercreech Forest Reserve, where the ‘White Knights’ stand - the tallest White Gums in the world, one measuring 91 metres in height.

pasTuresdavid arMstrong of arMstrong agricultural sErvicEs pty ltd., launcEston, dEscribEs thE soil on WavErlEy as …“MEdiuM tExturEd (loaM, nEthEr sandy or clayEy), thEy arE vEry WEll suitEd for agricultural usEs. thEsE soils havE vEry good physical charactEristics and good capacity for rEtaining nutriEnts.

There are some pastured terraces (Southern Terrace) a few metres above the river flats. The soil on these areas is redder in colour (indicating better drainage) than the soils of the lower plain, and has a medium texture to a depth of 30cm. This soil is excellent for almost any agricultural use”.

Other Pasture details are:

Soil Tests taken by Roberts Ltd in 2013, show the pH levels of the soils generally across the Farm to be in the normal range.

The Southern Paddocks have recently been fertilised & limed.

130 round bales of Hay were cut last year from some of these Southern Paddocks.

livesTock WavErlEy has gEnErally opEratEd ovEr thE yEars as a cattlE and shEEp grazing propErty, as folloWs:

Through the 1980’s and 90’s, the Waverley Murray Grey Stud successfully showed cattle, that were prepared on the Farm, having Champions at the Murray Grey National Show and Sale, Sydney, Melbourne, Hobart and Launceston Royal Shows. Large numbers of Stud Cattle were sold yearly to most States in Australia.

During these times approximately 250 head of Cattle and some Sheep were run on the Farm.

The altitude of Waverley is approximately 1,000 feet above sea level, which is said to be the perfect height to raise Cattle.

In recent times the Farm supported the Arcadia Murray Grey Stud, which was recently dispersed.

Waverley is currently running a Fat lamb and young Cattle raising operation, for which there is a Business Plan, available on request

cropping WavErlEy is WEll suitEd to agricultural cropping, With thE folloWing crops having prEviously bEEn groWn:

120 tonnes of 4 varieties of Organic Potatoes were grown & harvested on 6 acres of the South Terrace in 2012. As fertilizing is limited under Organic regulations, this was an outstanding result.

Excellent Turnip crops have been planted on the river flats, used as stock feed. Many of the Turnips were 400mm in diameter.

Equally as good Oat crops have been grown on the flats & Southern Terrace.

Contracts for the following crops have been offered recently to be grown on Waverley:

Organic Spelt

Chemical Free Crops:

Hemp

Borage

Golden Linseed

Brown Linseed

Canola

Blue, Marrowfat and Maple Peas

Standard Crop:

Poppies

The ground under irrigation could be more than doubled with a relatively short extension of the 150mm underground irrigation pipe. Tree windbreaks could be planted on alternative fences to those with adjacent stock water pipes.Refer to the Potential Southern Paddocks Plan at the end of this Brochure.

organic cropping

thE southErn tErracE (9 ha/23 acrEs) Was cErtifiEd organic in-convErsion by ausqual (cErtification nuMbEr: ic10074) for thE 3 yEars prior to august, 2013, WhEn it Was duE to bEcoME fully organic. this has currEntly lapsEd.

During this time, 120 tonnes of 4 varieties of premium Organic Potatoes were grown on 6 acres of this area and sold throughout Melbourne & Tasmania in 2012. This included selling into the Melbourne Fruit and Vegetable Market to Melba Fresh, Eco-Fresh, who supply Coles and Woolworths Organics and to Kostas, all of whom thought the produce was excellent.

The complete area that was Organically certified is irrigated. This area can be easily expanded.

The Sale of Waverley comes with a 78,750 ML, Surety 5, Direct Irrigation Water Licence.

There are no Farms upstream of Waverley ensuring a pristine water supply to Waverley. The water is so clean, it supports a community of platypus on the Farm.

A complete new Water System has been installed, as follows:

Domestic and Stock Water Supply a new Pumphouse has been built beside the Evercreech River. Its structure is a galvanised, welded steel frame chem-set bolted into substantial concrete pads about 2 metres below ground level, insulated colorbond walls and roof, insulated pipes and new electrical services.

Solar Collector Panels mounted on the roof directly power a Mono Sun-Ray SRX525W Solar Pump. This provides all the Farm’s Domestic and Stock Water requirements, all year around.

A new Davey 165S 240 volt Pump with Torrium Switch has been installed as a back-up to the Solar system.

Water Storage Tanks 2 x 22,700 litre (5,000 gallon) new concrete Water Tanks have been installed in a central location on the Farm, behind the Machinery Shed. Their location behind the Machinery Shed provides the opportunity to collect the rainwater directly from this large roof.

A new 50mm underground pipe provides water from the Pumphouse to the Water Tanks.

Domestic Water Supply a new Davey 125 Pump with Torrium Switch has been installed at the rear of the Machinery Shed, next to the Water Tanks. New underground pipes provide water from this Pump to the House and garden.

Stock Water Supply a new Davey 165S Pump with Pressure Tank, located next to the Water Tanks, provides water through underground pipes to all the Home Paddocks, the Stockyards and the Southern Paddocks.

This system comprises plug-in water points for Troughs along the fence lines, supplied by underground pipes from the Pump. Portable Orion Water Troughs, which are stock damage proof, plug into these points.

This system reduces leaks, evaporation loss, pressure loss and the need to clean a usually large number of permanently installed troughs. As a result, livestock are assured of fresh, clean drinking water.

↘ As Constructed Plans are available for this complete Water System.

a nEW irrigation systEM has bEEn installEd to thE southErn tErracE, Which includEs:

A new steel framed Intake has been built beside the Evercreech River, near the Pumphouse, which incorporates a gate valve, approved meter, coupling, etc.

New 150mm underground irrigation water Main connects this Intake to 2 Hydrants, which are centrally located in the Southern Terrace, to which a Hardhose Irrigator can be connected.

This underground main is 1 metre below ground level (below ploughing depth), has a breather valve, engineering designed underground concrete thrust anchor points, etc.

There is great potential for this Irrigation System to be extended throughout the Southern Paddocks.
