Country Towns and Districts - Three Springs and Mingenew - Cereal and Pastoral Wealth - People and Properties
"In the heart of the widely-known Mingenew fattening country, 12 miles from the township, Mr J. S. O'Halloran has 7,000 acres of flat, rich chocolate land. Corabella, as the property is named, was previously owned by the late Mr C. W. O'Halloran, an uncle of Mr O'Halloran, in whose hands Corabella has been since 1919. It is a well-improved property, capable of carrying a sheep to the acre, or the equivalent, and its paddocks are thickly dotted with the invaluable sago bush a species of salt bush. In the past Mr O'Halloran has concentrated on sheep, but, like many others, the decline in wool prices has caused him to turn towards cattle, although he will continue to fatten sheep. He has a Koonoona stud of 100 ewes, now in its third year. The ram was imported from South Australia and also some of the ewes. Last season 110 bales of wool were obtained from 5,000 sheep. Mr O'Halloran is an active member of the road board, and is also an enthusiastic polo player.

From The Western Mail newspaper, Thursday 5 October 1933:
Country Towns and Districts - Three Springs and Carnamah - Rich Pastoral and Wheat Lands - A Progressive Community
"Fairfield, the property of Mr William Padbury, comprising 8,500 acres of splendid agricultural and pastoral land, is situated ten miles north-east of Three Springs, and is considered to be one of the outstanding farming propositions of the district. The property carries 2,500 Merinos, from which the clip last year averaged 9 lb. per sheep. In addition the property carries 60 head of horses and a herd of 47 dairy cattle, including a very valuable stud of Red Polls. Last year 1,000 acres of wheat were cropped for a yield of 30 bushels to the acre. The prospects of maintaining the average yield for the ensuing season are quite good, and one paddock of 800 acres, just coming into ear, looks very promising. The homestead paddock of 160 acres, which is heavily top dressed, is sown to black barley and clover, and is carrying at present 15 head of cattle, 20 draught horses, and 300 sheep, the latter being topped up for the Midland fat stock market. The property is well served with water from dams and wells, and is provided with excellent shade by the conservation of small belts of forest. It has a comprehensive range of utility outbuildings that are distinctly impressive, and give a note of prosperity."

Country Towns and Districts - Three Springs and Mingenew - Cereal and Pastoral Wealth - People and Properties
"In the heart of the widely-known Mingenew fattening country, 12 miles from the township, Mr J. S. O'Halloran has 7,000 acres of flat, rich chocolate land. Corabella, as the property is named, was previously owned by the late Mr C. W. O'Halloran, an uncle of Mr O'Halloran, in whose hands Corabella has been since 1919. It is a well-improved property, capable of carrying a sheep to the acre, or the equivalent, and its paddocks are thickly dotted with the invaluable sago bush a species of salt bush. In the past Mr O'Halloran has concentrated on sheep, but, like many others, the decline in wool prices has caused him to turn towards cattle, although he will continue to fatten sheep. He has a Koonoona stud of 100 ewes, now in its third year. The ram was imported from South Australia and also some of the ewes. Last season 110 bales of wool were obtained from 5,000 sheep. Mr O'Halloran is an active member of the road board, and is also an enthusiastic polo player.

From The Western Mail newspaper, Thursday 5 October 1933:
Country Towns and Districts - Three Springs and Carnamah - Rich Pastoral and Wheat Lands - A Progressive Community
"Fairfield, the property of Mr William Padbury, comprising 8,500 acres of splendid agricultural and pastoral land, is situated ten miles north-east of Three Springs, and is considered to be one of the outstanding farming propositions of the district. The property carries 2,500 Merinos, from which the clip last year averaged 9 lb. per sheep. In addition the property carries 60 head of horses and a herd of 47 dairy cattle, including a very valuable stud of Red Polls. Last year 1,000 acres of wheat were cropped for a yield of 30 bushels to the acre. The prospects of maintaining the average yield for the ensuing season are quite good, and one paddock of 800 acres, just coming into ear, looks very promising. The homestead paddock of 160 acres, which is heavily top dressed, is sown to black barley and clover, and is carrying at present 15 head of cattle, 20 draught horses, and 300 sheep, the latter being topped up for the Midland fat stock market. The property is well served with water from dams and wells, and is provided with excellent shade by the conservation of small belts of forest. It has a comprehensive range of utility outbuildings that are distinctly impressive, and give a note of prosperity."
