COUNTRY

Roughly half the property has been pulled and seeded to buffel grass with prolific stands now prevalent on the softer creek flats and scrub country. The balance of the property is generally well grassed by native species, black and white spear, forest Mitchell, some Indian couch plus edible shrub with large areas of the ridges and higher country well established to seca stylo.
