C. B. Alexander College, Tocal, Paterson

Tocal was settled in 1822 and developed into a famous Beef Cattle and Thoroughbred stud. The name "Tocal" is a Koori word meaning "plenty of ducks."

In 1947 Charles Alexander left his estate to the Presbyterian Church to be used to help orphaned and destitute children by training them for agricultural careers.

Tocal College was opened to students in 1965 and in the same year the buildings gained the Sulman and Blacket Awards for architecture. In 1970 the College was transferred to NSW Agriculture.

Various land purchases have increased the size of the College to 2,200 hectares.

How to get there

RYLA is conducted each year at the Glendarra Conference Centre, a part of the College.

Tocal is located near Paterson, some 15 km north of Maitland. The Glendarra Conference Centre (shown in red on the map to the left) is found on the eastern side of Tocal Road, opposite the main campus. The entrance is directly opposite the main gate.

RYLA participants should come directly to Glendarra.
