Pincally Station is the home to Matt and Zanna Gale and their three daughters Bella, Lucy and Millie.  

 Pincally Station was originally settled in early 1900’s by the Moyle family, and  consists of 65, 893 hectares of grazing land under Western Lands Lease. It has been owned by the Gale family since 1990. The rugged Mount Arrowsmith Hills, named by Sturt during his expedition through he region, form a backdrop to the property and homestead.

The property consists of mainly sand hill country interspersed with seasonal creeks and box swamps. Vegetation consists of summer grasses, winter herbages and wild flowers when in season.

There are many varieties of native animals and birds including, kangaroo’s, emu’s, sand goanna’s, wedge tail eagles, finches, and  budgies just to name a few.

Wool, lamb and beef are the primary products grown on Pincally. Stock work is carried out at various times of the year. These times include shearing, calf making and sale of livestock. Pincally is currently managed under organic guidelines and has been for the past 5 years. Organics were introduced to the property to utilize the clean, green environment we live in.

Matt and Zannas daughters are educated through Broken Hill School of the Air via satellite lessons and distance education. If you are interested in seeing how the school of the air operates you may sit and experience an air lesson in the school room with the children. The children are always willing to show off their unique way of learning.

Pincally Stationis located 70 kms south of Milparinka, on the Mt Shannon Road. 

To access the property directly from Broken Hill, take the Silver City Highway past Packsaddle Roadhouse.  Approximately 40 km north of Packsaddle take the Mt Arrowsmith road to the west, crossing over the foothills of the Mt Arrowsmith range.

After leaving the foothills the road straightens and passes over several shallow creeks before passing an intersection.  Continue straight ahead on the road on which you have been travelling for a few more kilometres and you will reach the Pincally boundary gate.  The homestead is about 3 kilometres further on.

To reach Pincally from Milparinka take the Mt Shannon Road which runs past the western edge of the Harry Blore Garden (opposite the courthouse), and continue southwards for 70 kilometres. A kilometre or so north of PIncally the road takes a bend to the left and crosses a wide gravel creek before straightening up towards the homestead.
