The name Jardine is synonymous with European settlement and history on the rolling plains of the Monaro high country of southern NSW. The sturdy Scottish pastoralist, William Jardine, first arrived in the colony in 1841 and, by 1846, he had established himself at Curry Flat near Nimmitabel. The current custodians of this prime grazing property are Will and Caroline Jardine, and their children, Jack and Isabelle, represent the seventh generation of Jardines to have lived there.
