McBride Family Book
Faraway is found beyond the city boundaries. It’s a place where sheep graze in scrubby bluebush hills and where the McBride family of Burra began its pastoral dynasty more than one hundred years ago.
From the Faraway Hill sheep station, purchased in 1902, to the modern multi-million dollar livestock enterprise of Telopea Downs, this family company has remained committed to the fortunes of the fleece.
Welcome to Faraway—it’s a state of mind, a link to the past and the birthplace of a woolgrowing empire.
Faraway - 100 years of wool is the new book detailing the history of AJ & PA McBride Ltd, the McBride family, and the wool industry that is synonymous with the company.
