Property History and Information
The property has been in the current owners’ family for 110 years and the area was once heavily timbered. Part of property goes underwater in the major floods that occur about every 10 years.
Hunters and their families can enjoy the peace, sounds and scenery of nature, whilst staying in relative comfort at the shearers hut. Swimming, walking, fishing and of course, picnics, campfires and the hunt are all enjoyable activities on the property.
The owners are happy to speak to guests and help with a full run-down of the property’s features and to be present if guests would like to meet the horses.
