Since taking over the management of the diverse Bangor property in south east Tasmania in 1999, Matt Dunbabin has implemented a number of changes on the farm. The first step towards diversification came in 2007 when Matt developed a business plan to build a 1500ML dam to support a range of initiatives on the farm, including horticulture and cropping. Superfine wool production is one of the main enterprises on the farm, but it also runs a small 100 head prime beef cattle herd, and 1300 head prime lamb flock. Through development over the last decade, the farm now includes an irrigated cropping program, a 4ha vineyard for producing cool-climate wine, and the Bangor Wine and Oyster Shed, which is a food and wine retail business. Bangor’s diverse landscape called for a diverse approach, one that Matt delivered in spades.
