A fire in the Clarence Valley at Baryulgil has burnt most of the grazing land on Yulgilbar Station, owned by Baillieu and Sarah Myer and home to a renowned Santa Gertrudis stud.General managers Rob and Lorraine Sinnamon, with a team of up to 20 people, have been fighting fires on the property adjacent to the Clarence River for the past week.
They managed to save the historic Yulgilbar Castle — built in the 1860s — as well as protect a number of other homes and buildings on the 14,000-hectare property. Unfortunately an estimated 10,000 hectares of grazing land has been burnt along with a significant amount of fencing. There are about 5,000 head of cattle on the property, and Mr Sinnamon hopes livestock losses will be minimal.
Still just a little bonfire compared to the Black Saturday, Ash Wednesday and even Dandenong’s fires decades ago in Victoria.
