Greg and Allison Dakin took up the role of Managers of Newcastle Waters in July 2022 having previously managed large-scale breeding operations across Northern Australia. Having grown up on smaller farming and stud cattle properties in south-eastern QLD, together they headed north and west and progressed their career in the Northern Beef industry over the past 24 years. Those career moves have seen them involved in many different operations across the North including large-scale artificial breeding programs, feed-lotting, broadacre farming, large scale beef breeding and backgrounding operations and live export.
Taking a break from station operations whilst their youngest attended school “in town”, Greg has been heavily involved in the training and development of staff on corporate pastoral operations across Northern Australia whilst Allison worked as a practicing lawyer specializing in Native Title and land tenure.
Greg and Allison have five children with three of those also being employed in the Northern beef industry.
