OUR HISTORY
A century on the Rocky Plains
The Fletcher family came to the Rocky Plains area in the Snowy Mountains in 1862. In 1919 Bellevue was purchased and settled. Five generations later, and after years of perfecting the breed, Bellevue has become a farm producing the finest Saxon Merino wool.
CLOSE YOUR EYES AND IMAGINE...
Bellevue, in French, means beautiful view.
With the hills covered in snow in the distance and the paddocks and creeks a step and a jump from the old farmhouse, it is easy to see how the name came about.
There is something calming about the air here.
The pure water spring just behind the house, the chooks running free with the sheep in the paddocks, the cocky squawking and sneezing just like old Fred.
You get a real, wholesome sense of family and belonging.
WHERE THE MOUNTAINS
MEET THE MAKER
With a focus on tradition and on keeping things local, on natural rather than industrial, on quality over quantity, the calibre of the wool is held to a very high standard.
It is with this in mind that our family has specialised in producing superfine and ultra fine sheep since 1980. It has taken the last forty-six years to reach the quality we have today.
