Newstead Station is a large private pastoral property which has long been part of the local Inverell Shire since 1836 when Joseph King claimed the land acting as superintendent for Clerk & Rankin. The property became a sheep run worked by convicts and some free servants. In 1841 the property was purchased by Dr Colin Anderson and his brother in law Duncan Sinclair. On the 1st July 1845 the dissolution of the partnership of Newstead between Sinclair and Anderson was mutually dissolved. In 1852 Colin Anderson died followed the next year by the death of two of his daughters. In 1862 Mary Anderson on her return from England with her remaining 5 children had a church built in memory of her husband and two daughters. Sadly, the church burnt down in 1912. After Mary's death in 1875 the property was divided into north and south between the two sons Duncan owning North Newstead and John owning South Newstead. In 1894 Newstead was to become the home of artist Tom Roberts who stayed at the homestead for several months painting what were to become some of his most iconic works including 'The Golden Fleece' and other well known Australian Impressionist artworks such as 'Bailed Up' and 'Shearing Shed, Newstead'. Duncan sold his property in 1904 and John sold his in 1974. In 1985 the two property's were purchased by the McNeall Pastoral Company uniting both properties back into one.
