Beltana Springs near Brookton - Does it still exist ?

Was just reading an article in a 1998 edition of W'Angler about private fisheries..

 

The article was about 2 areas, Windermere near Williams and Beltana Springs near Brookton..

 

It went on to say that Beltana was stocked with Murray cod, golden perch, silver perch and rainbow trout.

 

Windermere stocked both rainbow and brown trout. 

 

Does anyone know if Beltana still exists and is operational ?

 

Did a quick search on the net, but nothing came up..

 

There is a Beltana Springs winery near Brookton - wonder if it's the same place ? 

 

It sounds a bit more promising than Golden Ponds... 

 

cheers,

Paul

Done a Google search and it's still there as a winery, doesn't say anything about fish though.

Cheers

 Hi All, Just scouting the internet and I saw this post. Beltana Springs does still exist. Recently we have opened to the public, it is by appointment only we have only one fishing party per week to keep the fish active and ensure an excellent experience. We will have an addition to our winery website soon detailing the fishing, however if you wish you can check out our Face Book page Beltana Springs. We regularly catch and release 45lb Murray Cod and Golden's to 15Lb. Bookings are essential.
