The base of Stein's holdings was Kadlunga homestead, which he founded in a vale beneath Mount Horrocks, about three kilometres west of present Mintaro.
His Kadlunga Station later became a merino sheep stud and Percheron horse stud, being successively owned by John Chewings (1816-79), Sir Samuel Way (1836-1916), and then Sir John Melrose (1860-1938) [REF].
