Arthursleigh

'Arthursleigh' (7900 ha) is located at Marulan near Goulburn. The property was bequeathed to the University in July 1979 from the estate of the late Eric Thomas Wallis Holt, AFC.

The farm is operated commercially, and used for teaching and research in pasture agronomy and animal science. Currently the site is used to teach Wildlife Health and Population Management courses. It is a valuable teaching resource for the University as it allows access to wildlife areas and provides an ideal venue for field trips.

Camden Farms

The University of Sydney operates three commercial dairy farms on the Cumberland Plain, southwest of Sydney. One of these farms is in the Camden area.

"Corstorphine" (named after a Scottish village by its original owner) lies on the banks of the Nepean River west of the historic village of Cobbitty. The farm supports 220 registered Holstein cows (black and white) producing high quality milk for the Sydney market. The deep alluvial soils are ideal for growing lush pastures required for milk production.
