Rick and Jenny Robertson’s 1,000-hectare property at Bengworden, near Bairnsdale in Victoria, has been in the family for 70 years. Rick’s father bought the property in 1950 to breed Merinos for fine wool, and Rick continues that tradition.

Rick and Jenny were finalists in the most recent Weekly Times Coles farmer of the year competition.
