Quote of the Moment:

“I've continued to recognize the power individuals have to change virtually anything and everything in their lives in an instant. I've learned that the resources we need to turn our dreams into reality are within us, merely waiting for the day when we decide to wake up and claim our birthright.”

Below a short outline of our past, present and future…

The Kachana Station pastoral lease was defined in 1989. It comprises an area of approximately 77’500 hectares of inaccessible upper-river rainfall catchment country. (Formerly the area was an unmanaged appendage at the southern end of the present El Questro lease.)

No access, no physical infrastructure, rugged terrain, deteriorating biological foundations and only a few poor looking Shorthorn clean-skin cattle…

As a pastoral proposition ‘Kachana’ was an obvious financial liability.

Kachana Pastoral Company was well aware of this fact.

Taking on the Kachana lease was justified because of:

The chosen strategy was: A focus on non-primary production income whilst subsidizing the gradual rebuilding of sound ecological foundations.

Management began in 1992 and results begin to speak for themselves.
