Up until very recently Caringa was the home of the Highlander brand for Ultra Super Fine wool production. Highlander wool has produced Australia’s finest bale of wool ever (11.1 micron). The cornerstone to this production is a 42 metre by 18 metre shed, which has a capacity of approximately 1,000 head. While this shed is currently fitted out with grating for permanently shedding the sheep, it could also be removed easily, which would create a high clearance shed suitable for machinery or truck shedding, or whatever takes your fancy!

Adjoining the monster shed is an extensive two stand shearing shed plus on the northern side is an excellent set of steel sheep yards including a working race, three-way draft, loading ramp and ample holding pens.

The steel cattle yards are based on a circular pattern with a central drafting pound, working race, crush and loading ramp.

Water & Rainfall
Water is secure to the holding with several springs running through the property. The major spring maintains a fenced off dam with good quality and volume, this water is pumped to a tank that gravity feeds to troughs, house and garden. This supply was reliable through the driest years. The annual average rainfall at Tumbarumba is 980mm (c/ B.O.M. Tumbarumba).

The Munderoo Creek runs through the property providing another water supply, as well as being a wonderful feature having been planted down to native trees and shrubs. Platypus can be spotted along the shady creek with its many picnic spots.

Services
Caringa has school bus service to the Tumbarumba High School, Tumbarumba Public and All Saints Primary schools for education purposes.
