Holbrook Paddock Eggs

Holbrook Paddock Eggs is family owned and operated by Sam and Prue Pincott with the assistance of their four young daughters. In 2010, the business started out with 50 hens in a caravan. After becoming disillusioned with mainstream farming, it was decided that a trial would be undertaken using the hens as portable fertilisers for the pastures. Soon realizing that 50 hens would have minimal impact on the paddocks, the business needed to grow. Now there are 10,000 laying hens and send fresh eggs to Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra and regionally every week. The Holbrook Paddock Eggs store showcases the story and provides interactive information on how the chickens are raised and eggs are collected. It also houses a beautiful boutique shop, that ranges from all things chickens to cookware and hone decor. A one stop shop for all!

John McLeans Memorial

Historical Sites and Heritage Locations

John McLeans Memorial

Visitors to Culcairn are able to see the memorial site of John McLean, one of two local victims of the infamous bushranger, Dan Morgan. 'Mad Dan' Morgan was one of the most unpleasant bushrangers of his time. Morgan operated in the Henty, Culcairn, Morven, Gerogery and Tumbarumba areas over several years, and was remembered for the notorious murder of a local man, John McLean. McLean fell victim to Mad Dan in 1864 when Morgan 'visited' Round Hill Station. Morgan confronted Mrs Watson, the wife of the manager, demanding food. A gunfight between Morgan ensued and McLean was fatally wounded. The memorial of John McLean can be found on the Culcairn Holbrook Road, a minutes drive from Culcairn. Visitors interested in the notorious legend of Mad Dan can also visit other landmarks including the memorial of Sergeant Smyth in Henty and Morgan's Lookout, the hideout he used to evade police.
