Elders Estates May 2026

Estates. Estates.

Welcome.

Welcome to the May 2026 edition of Estates Magazine.

As I write this several very dry areas in NSW have received some very welcome rain. While it is by no means enough to be considered a turn in the season it may provide some short winter feed.

Last month Elders was a supporting sponsor of the Global Ag Investing conference in New York. The conference is attended by 400 – 500 people to discuss investment opportunities in agriculture around the world. Australia has a very strong representation at these events and is a key destination outside North America and Europe for investors. The participants at the conference were more subdued that previous years as the market works its way through the current economic and political challenges around the world.

However, despite short term caution, interest remains strong for investment opportunities in agriculture because in times of economic uncertainty agricultural land is seen as a long term, generally capital secure investment, capable of producing a competitive financial yield.

This investment rationale holds true for large investors and family farmers alike. One of the key differences however, it that family farms take an intergenerational view of their investments – this is one factor that makes family farmers in Australia so competitive in rural real estate markets.

At these conferences it is great to network with attendees involved in agricultural enterprises around the world and learn from their experiences. Last year I saw a demonstration of AI being used for facial recognition of livestock, and apps that use AI to assess the weight and condition score of cattle from mobile phone photos.

I hope you enjoy this edition of Estates and find the opportunities you are looking for.

Regards,

Mark Barber General Manager, Farmland Agency and Agribusiness Investments

Australian cattle goingindustry strengthfrom to strength

The Australian cattle industry has recovered strongly from the drought in the early part of the decade through a focus on delivering a consistent, highquality product through improved genetics, animal husbandry and management, controlled feeding regimes and best practice processing, packaging and distribution systems.

The Australian beef industry has overtaken the US as the leading supplier of high-quality chilled beef to the world while continuing to play an important role in supplying lean beef to the US manufacturing sector.

Along with the recovery in export volumes and values, Australian producers are enjoying a period of sustained high prices which have only been better during the period following the drought where producers were rebuilding herds and production volumes were much lower.

Live cattle exports is a vitally important industry for northern Australia

Australia has been an exporter of livestock for well over one hundred years with the opening of large cattle stations in the Northern Territory and Kimberley in the 1880s driven by the potential to supply nearby Asian markets. The live cattle trade has expanded to be a vitally important economic driver for rural communities across northern Australia where local processing has been unsuccessful due largely to the seasonal nature of the northern industry. The industry directly and indirectly employs about 6500 people across northern Australia.

Australian live cattle exports in 2025 recorded the highest export volumes since 2020, at 792,000 head, slightly above 2024 volumes with annual export earnings around $800.

Strong supply and competitive pricing supported solid export volumes, however shipping capacity issues and economic pressures in key markets tempered growth.

Indonesia remains the key market accounting for 74% of our live cattle exports. Demand in Indonesia has remained strong due to reduced volumes and higher prices for Indian buffalo meat, shrinking domestic herds and a growing middle class that is hungry for protein.

Trade to Indonesia revolves around the supply feeder cattle to Indonesian feedlots. Australia’s live export trade is built on the supply of large numbers of highly productive, tropically adapted cattle from northern Australia into nearby Asian markets with strong demand for beef and limited domestic cattle production but abundant feedstocks for lot feeding imported cattle.

The Indonesian feedlot industry is complimentary to the northern Australian cattle industry due to its relative proximity, the comparatively cheap cost of feeding and its preference for lean meat which is a characteristic of Brahman cattle the predominant cattle breed in northern Australia.

The Indonesian feedlot and processing industry is an important source of employment in Indonesia, while the industry satisfies the preference of local consumers for freshly slaughtered meat retailed through traditional wet markets.

Vietnam remains the second largest export destination for Australian live export cattle exports. In contrast to Indonesia, Vietnam imports heavier slaughter ready cattle. Exports to Vietnam fell 30% in 2025 to 85,000 head (10% of exports) due to increased competition from regional cattle, weaker domestic cattle prices and increased availability of cheaper frozen south American beef. However, since the start of 2026, cattle prices in Vietnam have begun to rise with supply tightening which augurs well for an increased in export activity into Vietnam for the remainder of 2026.

Apart from being an important source beef for tens of millions of consumers overseas, it also acts as an important drought mitigant having the ability to export large numbers of cattle in a short period of time when domestic processing capacity maybe overwhelmed by supply.

Additionally, live export markets allow northern cattleman access to markets at similar values to southern markets without having the expense of trucking cattle to the south for fattening or slaughter.

Conditions are favourable for an increase in export volumes this year based on the build-up of northern herd numbers following a run of favourable seasons and rising demand for beef protein from the growing middle class in south-east Asia.

In rural real estate, the best agents don’t work alone.

Behind every property campaign, every negotiation and every sale sits a network of collective knowledge, from livestock experts, agronomists, finance specialists and local agents who are out in paddocks across Queensland and the Northern Territory every single day, talking to the large family farming businesses that are the backbone of this country.

That network is Elders. And across two of Australia’s most dynamic rural markets, the Elders team brings something no individual agent can replicate: the combined insight of people who have lived, worked and built relationships in these regions for decades.

For Alison Ross, Phillip Kelly and Robert Murolo, selling rural property is more than transactions. It’s about understanding the land and the people who call these extraordinary parts of Australia home. And it’s about drawing on the full weight of the Elders network to deliver for them.

Rooted in the land

For all three agents, a deep personal connection to the land came well before any career in real estate. Robert Murolo, born and bred near Proserpine in North Queensland, grew up watching his Sicilian-born father work the cane fields. He completed a trade at the local sugar mill, spent years maintaining cane harvesting machinery, and stumbled into real estate in 1999 when, mid-house-sale, he simply asked the local Elders agent for a start.

“When do you want me to start?” Murolo laughs. “ That was pretty much my interview.”

Twenty-six years later, he services a territory stretching as far west as Charters Towers, clocking up around 65,000 to 70,000 kilometres a year in the process.

Alison Ross’s path to the Northern Territory was equally unconventional. With a mother who was one of the earliest female Elders real estate sales agents, selling property on South Australia’s west coast from the mid-1980s, Ross grew up steeped in the industry. After studying agricultural business, she visited Katherine on holidays in 1999, went out to

some cattle stations with the local branch manager, and never really left.

“I said, oh, this would be great, there’s horses and everything,” she recalls. “I’ll go up for a year, make some money, and go back.”

That was 25 years ago.

Phillip Kelly entered the agency world in the late 1980s doing livestock sales, clearing sales, machinery, merchandise and agronomy, before joining Elders in 1993.

Since then, he has worked across Longreach, St George and Winton in Queensland, Western Victoria, spent nearly two decades in agri finance including a stint as head of finance for a major beef processing company; and joined Rabobank before returning to Elders 12 months ago, this time to help grow its presence in the corporate and high-net-worth rural market.

“I tended to miss the branch network,” Kelly says, explaining what drew him back. “When I was with other agencies, you didn’t have access to that broader network — the livestock guys, the agronomy, merchandise. I saw real value in being able to leverage that.”

Local knowledge, national reach

In markets as vast and complex as Queensland and the NT, local knowledge is the whole game. Alison Ross knows this better than most. As the owner of the Elders franchise in Katherine for the past ten years, she operates in a market unlike anywhere else in Australia.

The entire pastoral lease portfolio of the Northern Territory numbers 220 properties, spanning from Darwin to the South Australian border. The client base is small, but the assets are large, and the legislative landscape is complex. It encompasses pastoral leases, freehold, crown leases, land clearing permits, and water licensing, all of which Ross has navigated firsthand.

“I love the legal side of things, I love negotiating,” she says. “If there’s a complex issue, the vendor and purchaser are at loggerheads, I say, okay, what can we do to sort this out? I really enjoy that.”

That expertise was hard won. Ross ran a horticultural farm with her then-partner for five years, battling the realities of water extraction licences, government policy changes, and the tyranny of distance from southern markets. She sat on water advisory boards and government committees. She watched crops like sandalwood and cotton come and go. It gives her a frank, first-hand perspective that no amount of desk research can replicate.

Robert Murolo’s depth of local knowledge is similarly lived-in. Born in the region, he has sold everything from prawn farms, banana and mango farms, and sugar cane properties to large-scale grazing country, and brings an encyclopaedic understanding of how commodity cycles — sugar prices, beef prices — shape buyer and seller behaviour at any given moment.

“A lot of it is reliant on commodities,” he explains. “At the moment there are a lot of buyers chasing grazing country because beef prices are on the climb. Sugar prices have come off, so we’re seeing less movement in that segment. It goes up and down — same as the Australian dollar. You’re at the mercy of Mother Nature too.”

Phillip Kelly brings a different but complementary form of market knowledge: one built on decades in agri finance, where understanding a farming operation’s commercial mechanics was everything. That background now shapes the way he approaches every listing — with an emphasis on deep due diligence before he ever steps onto the property.

“I spend a lot of time doing due diligence on an asset before I go on farm,” Kelly says. “That way, I’ve got a good understanding of exactly what the asset is, the pros and cons. And that allows me to open up a real conversation about strategy, different campaign approaches, and what the market’s likely to do.”

Trust above all

If there is one thread that runs through all three agents’ philosophies, it is an uncompromising commitment to honesty. In small, tight-knit rural communities, a reputation is everything, and all three have built theirs on straight talking and long-term relationships rather than short-term wins.

Phillip Kelly puts it simply: “Honesty and integrity are key. No bulls**t. There’s no room for it.”

He describes turning away vendors whose expectations he can’t honestly meet, and going so far as to tell clients there are better options than selling.

Robert Murolo echoes that philosophy with characteristic directness. “I’ve had

people come to me and say, once you sell this property, we want this much for it. I’ve said: you’d be better off engaging another agent, because I’m never going to get that price,” he says. “I’m straight down the line. And once you’ve got their trust, they believe in you.”

“I had one bloke say to me: ‘Rob, I’ll get you to sell my property because I’ve been beside you, we’ve fought fires together. I can trust you.’”

Alison Ross speaks of values in similar terms. In a small community like Katherine, where there’s one supermarket and word travels fast, the stakes of getting things wrong are high.

“It’s all about your name and reputation,” she says. “Can you sleep at night? That’s the whole morals and ethics piece. Those are my values, and they’re still in my business and still in my client relationships.” She has watched competitors arrive with aggressive promises and quick-deal mentalities, only to exit the market just as quickly. The agents who endure, she argues, are the ones who play the long game.

Reading the market

Between them, Ross, Kelly and Murolo have lived through some of the most

significant shifts in northern Australia’s rural property market, and their accounts paint a vivid picture of a landscape in constant evolution.

For Ross, the defining moment was 2011, when the federal government’s live export ban sent shockwaves through the NT’s cattle-dependent property market. “Property values pretty much dropped 50% in about three months,” she says. The market has since recovered and grown, but the road has been uneven: a COVID-era surge in values, the distorting influence of carbon farming speculation that pushed some properties 20 to 30 per cent above market value, and a subsequent correction that has left some recent buyers unable to resell at what they paid.

“Input costs have gone up 10 to 20 per cent, live export prices have firmed back somewhat, but margins are a lot tighter,” Ross explains. “The banks’ appetite to lend in the North has also tightened. We’re in a market adjustment.”

She remains optimistic, however, pointing to emerging opportunities in cotton, horticulture and other irrigated agriculture around Katherine, and her ongoing involvement in government advisory boards working to reduce red tape and encourage sustainable development across the region.

In Queensland, Robert Murolo has watched commodity cycles dictate the rhythm of the market for 26 years. Right now, it’s grazing land that’s most sought after, with recovering beef prices driving strong buyer demand. Sugar country, by contrast, has quietened as prices have softened. Foreign investment, once a feature of the Queensland market, has effectively dried up over the past two to three years as tax settings have made it unworkable.

“Typically, about 90% of my work is familydriven,” Murolo says. “People expanding their operations, getting bigger. Then there’s the three Ds — death, divorce and debt — and they’re pretty well what accounts for the rest.”

“It’s all about your name and reputation,” she says. “Can you sleep at night? That’s the whole morals and ethics piece. Those are my values, and they’re still in my business and still in my client relationships.”

Phillip Kelly, meanwhile, sees Queensland’s sheer diversity as one of its defining characteristics and one of its greatest complexities. The state’s rural property market spans horticulture and poultry along the coast, through to broadacre cotton and grain country inland, and vast cattle operations in the north, with very different buyer pools, market dynamics and professional requirements for each.

“The markets are very different,” he says. “It’s highly diverse, and that’s what makes it so interesting, and so demanding.”

Across both states, all three agents note that buyers are becoming more sophisticated, better informed and more demanding. Professional photography,

drone videography and detailed information memorandums are now expected as minimum standards.

“When you’ve got two or three properties in the marketplace, you want your property to look its absolute best,” Kelly says. “Professional presentation also allows prospective purchasers to do real due diligence before setting foot on the property. It saves everyone time.”

Community is everything

All three are quick to point out that success in rural real estate is inseparable from genuine community involvement, which is woven into daily life.

Robert Murolo is a volunteer with the Rural Fire Brigade and one of the main skippers on the local Marine Rescue vessel. He posts social media content ranging from flooded highways at his front gate to fishing trips on his newly built boat, and finds that authentic, unscripted content builds the kind of engagement that formal marketing never could. “I’m selling myself through my experiences,” he says. “People react to real life.”

Phillip Kelly draws the same distinction between merely sponsoring community events and actually showing up to work them. “You don’t just write out a cheque,” he says. “You go and work the gates, you go work the bar. You get involved in what they’re doing.” He attends key industry conferences and events not as a peripheral figure but as a genuine participant — because, as he says,

being seen to be part of the industry is what builds the kind of trust and respect that translates into long-term client relationships.

Alison Ross has served on boards and government advisory committees, sponsored industry events, and embedded herself in Katherine’s community across a quarter century. Her Elders franchise has won the small and medium business award multiple times, including a national win, recognition she values not for herself, but for her team.

“Just because you’re in a regional market doesn’t mean you get a second-rate service,” she says. “That’s the whole point of winning these awards.”

Career highlights and the long game

Between the three of them, the career highlights are as varied as the markets they serve. For Alison Ross, one of the standout transactions of her career was managing seven cattle stations as part of the Hancock pastoral portfolio transaction, which was a complex, multi-property deal conducted during the COVID period.

“It was great money, live export prices had increased, and it was just as COVID was happening,” she says. “It was a really strong market.” Beyond individual sales, she counts her MBA and being a finalist in the 2019 Territorian Businesswoman of the Year awards among her achievements.

Robert Murolo tells his career highlight story with infectious delight. In 2019, while on a cruise in the Bahamas, he brokered a $32 million deal for a series of prawn farms. “I was sitting there in the Bahamas,” he says, grinning.

More recently, he was involved in an aggregation of properties on the Burdekin River west of Charters Towers that, across all the properties involved, reached a combined value well in excess of $200 million. And despite the allure of largescale corporate deals, he is just as proud of a $9 million family farm sale near Mackay. “Some of the smaller ones are more notable because of the people you work with,” he reflects. “When you start getting into big corporates, they’re bloody hard work.”

Phillip Kelly, in his first 12 months back at Elders, has already transacted in excess of $60 million in gross sales, including the sale of properties in the St GeorgeDirranbandi area, properties that had been listed elsewhere for years without result. He is candid that the biggest opportunity still ahead lies in better leveraging the Elders branch network.

“There are client-facing people across livestock, merchandise, agronomy — they’re out in the paddock talking to clients all the time,” he says. “The opportunity there is enormous. It’s probably the most underutilised asset we have.”

The pink shirt and what it stands for

All three agents have had opportunities, at various points in their careers, to leave Elders for other agencies. All three have stayed.

Robert Murolo has been approached by some of the biggest names in real estate over the years. His answer is always the same. “If you ask anyone around here, they’ll say Robert Murolo is Elders,” he says. “I’m just a pink shirt man. I think Elders, with their values, really makes the point of difference. It’s an Aussie icon — the longest running agency in Australia. It just fits the Australian way.”

For Alison Ross, the Elders brand represents continuity and credibility in a market where trust takes decades to build. She is frank that it is not always easy: running a franchise in a remote territory, juggling residential and rural, raising children and driving thousands of kilometres a week is demanding work. But the sense of purpose that comes from knowing her clients, understanding their land and helping them make the biggest decisions of their business lives keeps her going.

“There’s nothing better than being out there, seeing the country, whether it’s the best season with grass three feet high or the end of a long drought with nothing but

red dirt and mulga trees,” Ross says. “It’s the people you meet. It’s a real privilege.”

Phillip Kelly, fresh back in the Elders fold after a career that has taken him across finance, agency and corporate agribusiness, speaks of what drew him back in terms of service: being a trusted advisor to farming families and businesses, not just a transactional agent.

“It’s not about just going out and listing and selling, even though that’s how we get paid,” he says. “There’s more to it than that. The market is becoming more sophisticated, and clients, especially younger ones, demand a greater level of engagement. They want a real conversation.”

The region is highly productive and diverse, ranging from grazing country through to intensive agriculture, lifestyle holdings and residential property.

Andrew’s grounding in property started early in his life, shaped by constant exposure to buying, renovating and moving across multiple states.

“I’ve grown up around property my whole life,” Andrew said.

“Mum and dad were always buying, renovating and moving, so it was always part of the conversation. Thirteen houses in thirteen years across three states!”

After boarding at Nudgee College in Brisbane, Andrew built his experience in the livestock and wool industries before entering real estate.

“I headed west after school and worked on cattle stations for a while,” he said.

“From there, I got into wool classing and built a shearing contracting business in my early 20s.”

Andrew joined Elders in 1994 as a District Wool Manager, working across Winton, St George, Longreach and Warwick. Years spent working closely with producers and understanding land at a practical level naturally led him into property sales.

“Over time, I moved into real estate,” Andrew said.

“It was a natural progression, as I was already so practised working with producers, understanding land, and building relationships. I’ve spent my life in rural Australia, so I understand these

properties beyond just the sale, and that experience shapes how I approach every property and client.”

For Andrew, real estate has become a family business, with multiple generations involved.

“My wife Rachel has worked alongside me in the business for seventeen years, my daughter Sophie has been part of the team for eleven years, and my son Harry spent time with Elders in Longreach as a livestock agent,” Andrew said.

“That equates to over 60 years’ combined experience in the pink shirt. I’m not sure if that makes our family or Elders crazy!”

In his current role, Andrew’s days are shaped by people rather than routine. Appraisals, client conversations, listings, negotiations and time on the road all feature heavily.

“No two days are ever the same, which is part of the appeal,” he said.

“At the end of the day, it’s a relationship business.”

Andrew’s main focus is rural and lifestyle property, particularly larger holdings where experience and local knowledge matter.

“I also work across specialised assets, including feedlots, abattoirs, irrigation operations and water licences, alongside lifestyle and residential properties where it fits.”

What Andrew enjoys most about real estate is the combination of people, variety and problem solving.

“Every property is different and every client has a different reason for buying or selling,” he said.

“I enjoy the strategy behind it, reading the market, positioning a property well, and negotiating a strong outcome, all based on the tailored needs of my client.”

Over his career, Andrew has been involved in a number of major transactions, including sales of up to $78 million, as well as highly specialised assets.

“I’ve been fortunate to work on some significant transactions over the years,” he said.

“More broadly, I’m proud of building a consistent business in the Southern Downs and being part of a team that continues to grow.”

Having spent more than thirty years with Elders, Andrew says the strength of the brand continues to resonate with regional clients.

“Elders has a long history in rural Australia, and that carries a lot of weight with clients,” he said.

“It’s a brand that understands regional Australia, which is important in our market.”

Primarily specialising in rural property, Adrian works with a wide range of assets, including livestock, horticulture, plantation forestry, dairy and lifestyle properties.

With almost two decades of experience in rural property valuation and transactions, Adrian combines technical expertise with lifelong ties to agriculture and regional communities. Born and raised on his family’s 1,000-acre beef farm in Nannup, he comes from a family with four generations of farming history in the South West.

“I grew up on the family farm in Nannup, so agriculture and property have always been a part of my life. I have always had a strong connection to the land and to rural communities,” said Adrian. Adrian said.

After moving to Perth to attend university, Adrian completed a Bachelor’s degree in Marketing Management. He later obtained a Graduate Diploma in Property Valuation

Adrian Carroll is a rural sales representative at Elders, servicing clients across the south-west region, from the metropolitan fringe south of Perth to Augusta, Boyup Brook and Darkan.

Introducing Adrian Carroll

while building his career in the industry over the next 20 years.

During this time, he worked for the state government department Landgate across several divisions, including title registrations and the Valuer-General’s Office. He also spent seven years of this time working as a rural valuer.

“That experience gave me a strong understanding of property, valuations and rural transactions. I also gained a solid technical foundation for appraising property and understanding the market from the perspectives of both clients and the industry,” he said.

Given his strong family ties to the South West and the Elders brand, Adrian says that joining Elders felt like a natural fit.

“My brother Michael has worked at Elders for over 20 years as a Livestock Manager, so he recommended the business to me as a great place to work,” he said.

“When the opportunity arose to move back down south and be closer to home, I jumped at it and haven’t looked back.”

Today, Adrian balances his time between the office and travelling across the region meeting clients and inspecting properties, while also raising his two children as a single parent.

“I greatly enjoy being outdoors, working on farms, meeting people and helping them achieve their property goals,” he said.

Adrian said one of the biggest strengths of working with Elders is the collaborative culture and the ability to work closely across divisions including livestock and merchandise.

“Being able to build relationships across different areas of the business has been really beneficial in servicing our real estate clients,” he said.

“From assisting with leasing and cattle purchases or sales, through to understanding what’s happening at the coal face, it all helps us provide a better service and stronger outcomes for clients.”

Since joining Elders Bunbury three years ago, Adrian has achieved several significant milestones, including winning Outstanding New Talent Rural (WA) in 2023 and achieving Elders Elite Status in both 2024 and 2025. He was also part of the Bunbury Rural team awarded the Culture Award in 2024.

“I’m proud to contribute to a positive work culture by being open to sharing information and working together to achieve the best results for clients,” Adrian concluded.

‘Marchagee Farms’ is located in the highly desirable Central Midlands district at Marchagee, with major arterial road frontage to Midlands Road.

Marchagee Farms is adjacent to the CBH Marchagee receival site on the trainline connecting Geraldton and Kwinana. This allows for highly efficient harvest logistics as

truck turns are rapid reducing on farm buffer storage requirements.

As Marchagee is located on the line between Geraldton and Kwinana grain can be priced into either port zone.

Additional Revenue Opportunities

Additional future income streams may be created by further development of significant lime, dolomitic lime and bentonite clay deposits on the property.

There is also a large scale wind turbine option over the property with the potential to generate substantial passive income with little or no impact on farming output.

A rare convergence of scale, resilience and global indemand South Australia’s far north.

In the remote expanse of South Australia’s north west pastoral region, a landmark offering is set to draw the attention of both domestic and international agricultural investors. The sale of the Jumbuck Pastoral aggregation represents one of the most significant rural property opportunities seen in Australia in recent years—both for its sheer scale and for its alignment with long-term global demand for premium fibre and protein.

Spanning approximately 1.29 million hectares, the aggregation comprises three contiguous pastoral stations— Commonwealth Hill, Mobella and Bulgunnia—collectively forming Australia’s largest contiguous sheep station holding.

With a carrying capacity exceeding 83,000 sheep equivalents and an established Merino flock, the enterprise is a proven large-scale production system delivering both fine wool and sheep meat.

What distinguishes the aggregation is not simply its size, but its position at the intersection of global agricultural themes

reshaping the industry. Increasing demand for natural fibres, rising global protein consumption, and the need for sustainable, low-input production systems are all converging—and the Australian Merino industry sits squarely within that nexus.

Australia remains the world’s benchmark producer of Merino wool, underpinning premium apparel markets that are increasingly focused on traceability, sustainability and natural fibres. At the same time, sheep meat exports continue to expand into key growth markets across Asia, the Middle East and North Africa, reinforcing Australia’s strategic importance as one of the world’s dominant exporters. It is this dual exposure—to fibre and protein—that has elevated large-scale sheep enterprises into diversified agricultural investments with multiple revenue streams and inherent resilience.

Against this backdrop, the Jumbuck aggregation presents a highly compelling case study in scale-driven efficiency. Commonwealth Hill and Mobella alone operate as a single enterprise across nearly one million hectares, with a combined maximum prescribed stocking rate of 55,300 sheep equivalents, supported by extensive infrastructure, water systems and paddock development. Bulgunnia complements the scale with a further 310,000 hectares and 28,000 head capacity. Across the aggregation, more than 53,000 sheep are currently run within a self-replacing Merino system.

However, scale alone does not define performance in the pastoral zone.

The underlying strength of the aggregation lies in its rangeland environment and longterm stewardship.

Situated within the Kingoonya district, the country comprises drought-resilient vegetation systems—bluebush, saltbush and native grasses—that are well adapted to episodic rainfall patterns typical of Australia’s arid interior. These vegetation communities respond rapidly to rain events, providing maintenance feed and underpinning consistent production when managed correctly.

Crucially, the aggregation has benefited from decades of disciplined management by Jumbuck

Pastoral.

The preservation of perennial shrub species such as pearl bluebush and bladder saltbush has supported sustainable grazing systems and maintained carrying capacity through variable seasons. This approach contrasts with opportunistic stocking models and instead emphasises longterm productivity and landscape health.

The operating environment also delivers tangible cost advantages. Low rainfall and arid conditions reduce the prevalence of parasites, fungal diseases and waterlogging risks, while limiting the need for supplementary feeding and chemical inputs. These factors translate into lower operating costs and simpler management systems.

Equally important is the genetic foundation of the flock.

Developed through a long-term breeding program, the aggregation’s Merino sheep are selected for both wool quality and meat attributes, producing a robust dualpurpose animal suited to extensive grazing conditions.

This approach reinforces the diversification of income streams and positions the enterprise to respond flexibly to shifting commodity cycles.

From a market perspective, timing is also notable. The aggregation is being offered

during a period of strong seasonal conditions, solid sheep meat pricing and renewed strength in the wool market. Low inventory levels and improving demand conditions have supported confidence in wool prices, while global protein demand continues to underpin livestock markets.

The aggregation is available for purchase as a whole or in component parts, allowing a range of participants— from family enterprises to corporate investors—to engage in the process.

Working across the Barossa, northern Adelaide, Riverland and Murraylands regions, Dave has built a reputation as a knowledgeable, strategic and highly accessible agent who is deeply passionate about property and delivering strong outcomes for clients.

Born and raised in Renmark, Dave’s connection to regional Australia and the property industry began at an early age.

“I grew up on a fruit orchard in the Riverland, which I really enjoyed. It taught me the value of hard work from a young age and gave me a strong appreciation for regional communities,” he said.

After leaving school at 17, Dave began his working career in the building industry before relocating to Darwin at age 20, where he started a 24-year career with Telstra. Initially qualifying as a communications technician, he later progressed into a range of frontline management roles across the country.

During those years, Dave also developed a passion for property, renovating five houses and building one himself.

“I’ve always loved property, and I’ve always enjoyed identifying its potential and understanding what makes each property unique. After years of renovating and building, moving into real estate felt like a natural step,” he said.

Dave Kanizay is the Real Estate Manager for Elders Barossa Valley, bringing almost two decades of experience across residential, rural, commercial, land division and business sales.

Introducing Dave Kanizay

Dave transitioned into real estate sales in 2006, later completing his Real Estate Auctioneer Licence in 2009 and Diploma in Property Services (RLA) in 2010.

“I’m obsessed with real estate. My wife used to say, ‘You would buy every property if you could,’ and it’s because I can see the potential in most properties I sell,” he said.

Today, Dave manages the Barossa and Waikerie teams while handling a substantial portfolio of listings across multiple regions. He says his passion for people, property and continuous improvement is what drives him every day.

“It’s non-stop most days. I generally carry around 25 to 30 listings while also managing the teams,” he said.

“I’m always researching the market and building on my knowledge because this industry is constantly evolving. If you want to be a leader in this field, you have to keep up with it.”

For Dave, the most rewarding aspect of his role is having the opportunity to make a genuine impact on people’s lives.

“It’s the old cliché. It’s the people you meet. Every client has their own circumstances

that influence their decisions, and I enjoy the challenge of helping them navigate that process,” he said.

“Whether it’s showing compassion during a difficult situation or helping someone achieve an amazing result, you really can make a difference.”

One of Dave’s proudest achievements came after relocating from the Riverland to the Barossa Valley at the end of 2024. Despite significant staff changes and early operational challenges, he helped rebuild the branch into a high-performing business with a strong foundation for future growth.

“The first year was challenging with a lot of staff changes, but we now have an amazing team in place, and the business is performing strongly,” he said.

“I’m immensely proud of the team we’ve built here. The success of this branch will be part of my legacy, but there is a lot more to do.”

Having spent almost 15 years with Elders, Dave says he feels a strong connection to the business and its growth journey.

“I’m incredibly proud to have been part of the Elders success story and to feel like I’ve contributed to the growth, even if only in a small way. When you immerse yourself deeply into something, you become part of it.”

She works with residential, lifestyle and rural properties and specialises in premium rural lifestyle holdings and larger farm assets in the Goulburn, Taralga and Crookwell areas.

Before moving into real estate, Kia spent 25 years in the advertising industry, including ten years at Saatchi & Saatchi Sydney as a senior TV, print producer and art buyer. She later managed production companies and produced campaigns for major brands including Toyota, Cadbury and Paspaley Pearls.

Seven years ago, Kia and her family relocated to their Taralga farm, embracing a regional lifestyle with partner Adam and their two boys, Cooper and Hudson.

“Moving into real estate felt like a natural progression with the skills I have used in my previous roles,” she said.

For Kia, communication and connection lie at the heart of her approach to the role.

“I’m a real people person,” she said.

“I love getting to know my clients on a personal level and creating the best experience and outcome for them. Communication is probably my biggest superpower.”

Today, Kia balances her role as Real Estate Sales Manager for the Goulburn and

“One day I might be driving around a property, marking boundaries and learning the history of a farm from a vendor; the next, I’m behind my desk, collating marketing material and negotiating a sale,” Kia said.

“One day is never like another, however, the consistency is always being in communication with my vendors, buyers, and in-house team daily.”

The Southern Tablelands region has experienced significant growth in recent years, attracting buyers from Sydney, Canberra and Wollongong who are seeking a lifestyle change, a hobby farm or productive agricultural land.

“The area has so much to offer. Over the past 3 years we have seen huge growth especially in the Goulburn, Taralga and Crookwell area,” she said.

“Being a local on the ground but having come from the big city myself, I can

truly understand and connect with what this audience is looking for in the market here.”

For Kia, one of the most rewarding parts of real estate is building long-term relationships with clients.

“Real estate is built on trust and long-term connections. Buying or selling property is often tied to major life milestones, so being trusted to guide people through that process is something I genuinely value,” she said.

Since joining Elders, Kia has achieved several major career milestones, including being recognised as an Elders Rising Star within her first 12 months and achieving Elite Status within two years.

Having built her real estate career within Elders, Kia says that the strength of the brand and its connection to regional Australia continue to stand out.

“There’s a really collaborative environment at Elders. Being able to utilise all areas of the business, from finance and insurance to merchandise, enables us to provide clients with a genuine, comprehensive service,” Kia said.

“I love being part of an Australianowned brand with such a long-standing reputation in regional Australia, while still having the ability to grow, innovate and achieve strong results.”
