Coliban Park

Situated south of Bendigo in Victoria, Coliban Park is approximately 13,000 acres running up to 30,000 sheep and is currently operated by Duncan and Jess Barber, with the help of their four children when they’re home from school – Jack, Rosie, Maggie and Polly.

Coliban Park boasts a long and very interesting history dating back 150 years. Acquired by Anthony Barber in 1917, Coliban Park already had a well-established Saxon flock which he continued to manage. The sheep had been purchased in 1859 from John Aitken of Mount Aitken and can be directly traced back to Eliza Furlong and the Elector of Saxony.

With granitic soils and scattered red gums on undulating hills, Coliban Park provides excellent breeding country for saxon merinos. Duncan is the fourth generation of his family to run the property, and believes strongly in the Saxon breed and maintaining their genetics and the land.
