One of South Australia's Premier Wool Growing Stations
Ray White Rural South Australia is proud to present 'Gilles Downs Station', a highly regarded pastoral holding ideally positioned with direct Eyre Highway frontage, less than one hour from both Port Augusta and Whyalla. Recognised as one of South Australia's premier wool growing pastoral properties, Gilles Downs Station has built a strong reputation for quality wool production, with its wool clip consistently ranking amongst the state's top pastoral performers.
