After 4 years of declining health, at Strathearn House Scone on Thursday 3rd April, Beverlee Adams AM died at the age of 93.
Bev bred some of the first Charolais cattle in Australia at Sans Tache, Dry Creek, NSW. With her in-house vet (husband Geoffrey) she sourced French semen and started from scratch, inseminating a small herd and developing the Charolais bloodlines over years. She decided that if breeding French cattle, she should have a French property name and “Sans Tache” is indeed “without blemish”!
Beverlee left instructions that there was to be no funeral service and that she should be interred in a wombat hole in her beloved Dry Creek valley. Nobody who knew Bev well would be too surprised by that.
There will be a remembrance celebration for Beverlee in the near future following a private cremation. There are so many stories about Beverlee, she crammed in several lifetimes worth of experience. If you have a Bev story, please come and share it with her friends over a drink and looking down her valley. The date will be announced on this and other pages when decisions have been made.
Please feel free to leave a message…..
Fond Memories of Mrs Adams right through my schooling years and beyond. My most sincere heart felt sympathy and condolences to Mrs Adams family. She was a “Pioneer of so much, and a teacher of many” regards Tony McTaggart

Bev was a passionate science teacher at St Joseph’s Aberdeen in the ‘80s. There was no finer example of an educator who went above and beyond to impart her extensive knowledge to her students. She was a lady who packed a lot into her 93 years. We were blessed to have her as a teacher in our school. Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her; may she rest in peace.
Bev has a solid country woman with a lovely Charolais herd and family to match. Vale Bev.
