Polo Tournament

With a rich connection to Australian polo, Mount William Station hosts an annual polo tournament each October. Our last Annual Polo Tournament was a memorable event, thanks to our amazing sponsors, the talented celebrity chef Sarah Todd, and all the fantastic guests and players.

The Details

Last year’s polo event was a highlight with record attendance. However, the combination of last summer’s bushfires and the ongoing drought has meant our polo equipment and grounds unfortunately won’t be tournament-ready this year.

We’re already working on something exciting for next season — and in the meantime, why not enjoy the Homestead in full bloom?

We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to our guests, polo players, and Masterchef Sarah Todd, for participating in the fantastic event.

    Robert Barr Smith played in the first recorded polo game in Adelaide in 1878. Since then, the Abbott and Barr Smith family have had a longstanding connection to Australian polo. In 1985, Charles Abbott, as the president of the Victorian and Australian Polo Councils, hosted royals Lady Diana and the now, King Charles in Werribee.

    The Barr Smith and Abbott family connection to polo is rich and this tournament aims to build on that tradition. Many games have been played at Mount William Station; however, the current grounds were re-established in 2006 but Mount William Charolais owner and professional polo player, Robert Abbott.
