ABOUT US

Our property “North Run” (formally part of Booabula station) sits on the banks of the Billabong Creek at Wanganella, New South Wales, the birth place of the famous Australian Peppin Merino.

The property has been in the Wallace family since 1912 with Merino sheep breeding at the heart and soul of the operation. North Run has a self-replacing merino flock of approximately 6000 breeding ewes on 20,000 hectares. Our sheep graze native pastures on saltbush open plains country.

We would love to share with you our passion for Merino sheep and the environmentally friendly, sustainable products they produce.
