Despite the stand still after the 1929 crash, Elder Smith and company built their stockyards in the 1930’s which remained a centre for stock sales and activities until the late 1960’s operating twice monthly.

It was in a prime location located on the south western side of the Angaston railway precinct.

It may have been an end or an era as a sale yards but the beginning of another era providing luxury accommodation in a farm yard environment with animals on your doorstep, local eateries, cellar doors, walking and riding trails within a short walk.
