History and Ownership:

Murrayfield  has been the home of Indigenous Aboriginal people for 35,000 years and much effort is in place to preserve their history. Murrayfield is owned by the Indigenous Land Corporation and is managed by Bruce and Lyn Michael. Murrayfield provides economic, social, cultural and environmental benefits to the Tasmanian  Aboriginal people .

Murrayfield has some 260 cultural sites and Mission Bay is regarded as the first Aboriginal mission site in Australia. Europeans came to Murrayfield in 1824 and merino sheep have been grazed there ever since.

Management Philosophy:

A focus on quality first. Stocking rates have been reduced to achieve consistent quality of production and sustainability of agricultural practices. The ability to sustain ewes at a fat score of 3 determines stocking rate through winter and as a result stock losses have been dramatically reduced.

Native vegetation areas are being fenced to maintain flora and fauna and it is the home of the most southern stand of native Grass Trees.
