Burra Community School Agriculture Program

Princess Royal Station is proud to support the Agricultural Program of the Burra Community School in a variety of ways. These young students are the future of Agriculture in Australia, and we believe the program is a vital aspect of learning and insight into the vast industry of agriculture.

We are also hoping to see the Princess Royal Study Assistance Scholarship up and running in 2016, which will be awarded to a student who wishes to continue their education in agriculture.

 The Heart Foundation

Princess Royal Station is proud to support the Heart Foundation. For every sale of Bob Rowe: The Great Cattle Trader by Nigel Austin, $5 will go to the Heart Foundation. Bob had a number of heart issues and, unfortunately, these got the better of him in late 2013.

As a charity and the largest non-government funder of cardiovascular research in the country, the Heart Foundation is proud to invest in biomedical, clinical, public health and health services research which investigates the causes, diagnosis, management and prevention of cardiovascular disease and related disorders. While their work over the past five decades has helped reduce the number of deaths, cardiovascular disease (heart, stroke and blood vessel disease) remains one of Australia’s most devastating health problems.  To learn more or donate directly, please visit www.heartfoundation.org.au.

Bush to Burra Cattle Drive

Bush to Burra Cattle Drive

The Bush to Burra Cattle Drive (2007 & 2009) was the mastermind of Simon Rowe.

Simon wanted to travel the many old stock routes around the Burra district as was done in the good old days while combining his passion for local history and love for horses and cattle.

Soon, the Bush to Burra committee was formed from local people who all shared Simon’s vision, and the project quickly snowed balled from there.

Both events proved to be successful with sponsorships, community involvement, local groups and associations’ support and many riding participants.

The combined proceeds from the two events, approximately $70,000,  were donated to local charities, projects and groups of importance to the local community. Major beneficiaries include Burra, Jamestown and Peterborough Hospitals, Burra Jamestown and Peterborough Meals on Wheels, Clare SCOSA, Aussie Helpers and many more.

In the future we hope to organise another Bush to Burra event.
