Tongy is professionally managed by Mutual Trust with a clear plan to raising the carrying capacity through an ongoing pasture and fencing renovation program. The management team continues to convert native grasses to productive and balanced pastures through grazing, slashing and direct seeding.

History of Tongy Station

In 1825 he was granted freehold title of Tongy by Governor Bourke for his services to the colony through Agricultural management. W. L.
