CD record

If you are researching ancestors who were stockowners in Australia, the Pastoral Directories are a great resource. This compendium contains facsimiles of the years 1913, 1923, 1925, 1931, and 1954.

Australian Pastoral Directories were published yearly, and each edition lists thousands of stockowners and agents for most states in Australia. The information listed contains the name of the station and the owner, however the larger states (New South Wales and Queensland) contain more detail including numbers of cattle and sheep.

A great resource for finding information on our forbears on the land at different stages in the past.

Each year is also available separately:
Australian Pastoral Directory 1913
Australian Pastoral Directory 1923
Australian Pastoral Directory 1925
Australian Pastoral Directory 1931
Australian Pastoral Directory 1954
