Lindsay Park, on the outskirts of
Euroa.
Hayes had sold his chunk of the family’s famously successful
Barossa Valley property and taken the brand – as well as the earthmovers – to
Creightons Creek.
Melbourne and
Sydney.
Hayes would continue to lavishly improve the Euroa property but that day up on the hill, it was quite some sight, quite some vision.
There are other great training properties, but probably none like David Hayes’ masterpiece.
Hayes was in a slump at the time, mostly because the Barossa property hadn’t yet been sold and the cost of setting up Euroa had sapped Hayes’ ability to buy well-bred stock.

One of Australia s leading shearing champions has been awarded a Medal of the Order of Australia in this year s Australia Day honours.
Stanley Artridge was posthumously recognised with an OAM for his service to the wool industry and community.
The former Ruffy and Creightons Creek local was a foundation member and chief referee of the Golden Shears World Council.
He held the ‘Sheep to Suit’ record, through the Melbourne College of Textiles listed in the
1982 Guinness Book of Records.
Teaching shearing was his craft. He became a regional instructor for the Australian Wool Corporation. Then, in 1977 he began teaching at Wangaratta TAFE for 10 years.
