Bees set up a hive in a hole in the weatherboards at the Greylands homestead in 2022

As of May 2025, Greylands has signed up to take Sydney University vet students for cattle farm placements.

There has been a recent series on the TV channel NBN bringing back to life some of Singleton's history, including the st  eam train days. The above video is some of the footage of the Hunter Valley steam train aired on that NBN series. After seeing some of the series, Ian recalls, regarding his father Allan Bailey's farming days at Greylands, "I can remember as a small child, going up to the station to watch our cattle from Gunnedah arriving. Unfortunately one beast went down and had to be winched out. The cattle were mustered out to Greylands!" The shortest distance by road currently, from Singleton railway station to Greylands is 26km, so it would have been even further than that to muster the cattle around the edge of the Singleton township and across the Hunter River before following the road out to Greylands - not a short muster. Cattle also used to be sent by steam train to the abattoir at Waratah, Newcastle.

An aggressively growing pest that unfortunately thrives in this climate.
