Toganmain: A Legacy of Riverina Wool

Nestled between Darlington Point and Carrathool along the Murrumbidgee River, Toganmain Station was a key player in the Riverina's wool industry. Established by Sir Alexander Macleay and expanded by the Robertson family from 1867, it boasted 167,000 acres and significant river frontage. In its prime, the station's massive 75 by 25 metre woolshed, equipped with 110 blade stands and later Wolseley machines, was renowned for its high-quality wool. Toganmain's prosperity mirrored the wool boom of the early 20th century but waned with the advent of synthetic fibres and drought. Today, it remains a symbol of Australia's rich pastoral history.

Even today the woolshed conjures up memories of the great pastoral holdings which occupied Murrumbidgee River frontage from Darlington Point to Hay. The vision for the site is an immersive curated museum that will use recorded oral shearers' stories, written accounts and interpretative signage, to bring to life Australia's vital pastoral history in an environment which stimulates all the senses.
