About Aranyani Bison
Our plans are to breed and show off our beautiful animals.Due to NSW goverment regulations we are not permitted to show our animals to the public at this time. We are working on getting this issue resolved. Buster our Bison bull has 9 females in his herd and Barry the Braford bull (Brahman x Hereford) has about 32 heifers.
The property is set over 1180 Acres with 2km backing onto Myrtle Creek with kms more walking and riding trails. See abundant wildlife in their natural habitat and plenty of activities for the whole family including mini putt putt, archery, pony rides, canooing, freshwater fishing & a swimming pool.
We have four tipis approx 7m in diameter and have just had a development application passed by Richmond Valley Council for camping grounds with amenities blocks, cooking facilities and kiosk. We are are hoping to get our buildings erected over the christmas break with our grand opening to be early in the new year.
The Aranyani Bison team will be able to host school camps with loads of educational benefits, initiative activities and obsticle courses. We have local contacts and can organise horse riding and river kayak tours. Team building, corporate stays and bucks/blokes weekends. With plans to expand with skirmish grounds and quad bikes tours!
The name of the Bison farm ARANYANI is taken from a poem hanging on the wall written by a previous owner:
ARANYANI, ARANYANI, who art, as it were, perishing there, why doest thou not inquire of the village, does not fear assail thee?
When the chichika replies to the crying vrisharva, ARANYANI is exalted, resonant, as with cymbals.
It is as if cows were grazing, and it looks like a dwelling and Aranyani at eventide, as it were, dismissed the wagons.
This man calls his cow, another cuts down the timber; tarrying in the forest at eventide, one thinks there is a cry.
But ARANYANI injures no one unless some other assail him; feeding upon the sweet fruit, he penetrates at will.
I praise the musk-scented, fragrant, fertile, uncultivated ARANYANI, the mother of wild animals.
Coming to the author when arriving on the property, this poem is similar to the sacred Hindu text Rig-Vega Hymn CXLVI. Aranyani. Aranyani is a goddess of the wild, forests and animals that dwell within it. She is adorned with anklets of bells and is seldom seen but more often heard as the tinkling of her anklets echos through the dark forest. She is described as a dancer, elusive and fond of quiet glades in the forest, she wanders far from the fringe of civilisation, not afraid or lonely.
