Beulah Trangie

"Beulah", Trangie,
New South Wales

Beulah is a Corriedale Stud sheepstation situated about 14 miles from the town of ‘Trangie, which lies on the main railway line from Sydney to Bourke, in Central West New South Wales.

The property was 6,000 acres and situated in an area between the Macquarie and Bogong rivers which, in the year 2000, was being run by Alec Carrol, the son of Charles Carrol - the original owner. Alec partly taught me to ride “Australian Bush style”. In 2012 I noticed that the whole sheep station was up for sale either as a whole or in two parts further investigation reveals that the correidale flock was advertised for sale and dispersal, a sad ending to a long family connection I suppose.

Note the ex-44 gallon drum, mounted on four metal fence posts, with hinged lid, used as a postbox

The gate was used for moving livestock in and out, whilst the "cattle grid" stopped animals going in or coming out, and allowed free access for vehicles without having to open and shut gates.
