Walhallow Cattle Station

The adjoining NT properties of Walhallow and Creswell Downs have been offloaded by retail billionaire Brett Blundy to an asset manager from Sydney, in a deal that would constitute a price record for an Australian cattle station. The Walhallow aggregation was offered with 61,000 cattle. Queensland’s Pickersgill family have purchased Neutral Junction Station through their family-owned Australian beef operation, Bunderra Cattle Co. The site was purchased from former Rabbitohs rugby league star, Charlie Frith. The Pickersgill family operate 10 properties throughout Queensland and the Northern Territory, and Neutral Junction will add substantially to their portfolio of property.
