First settled in 1839 as part of the original Huon family holdings, ‘Brae Springs’ carries a rich and enduring agricultural legacy – including a colourful connection to the infamous bushranger Dan Morgan, who was active in the Riverina during the 1860s and reportedly visited the property on several occasions while moving between Burrumbuttock, Bungowannah and Albury.

Passing through several custodians over more than a century, the property was acquired in 1961 by Justice John Hailes Flood Nagle, one of Australia’s most distinguished jurists, whose family retained ownership of ‘Brae Springs’ thereafter.
