Property Owners Rules

The most important rule above all else is to have a clean vehicle on arrival for maintaining biosecurity. This is very important and dirty vehicles which pose a biosecurity risk will be turned away by our manager. Secondly paddocks with stock in them are to avoided, these will be pointed out by our manager. Gates must be left as found and accomodation left in a neat and clean state and a general respect for the property, owners and managers to be adhered to.

Rules on the property are simple – follow and read the conditions for property access book. Common Sense – leave gates as found, no shooting at or anywhere near grazing cattle, or on ridgelines, respecting property boundaries, avoid driving on near crops and gardens. Hunt respectfully. Take all rubbish with you to the designated area, obey any fire restrictions especially total fire bans. No hooning vehicles or motorcross bikes. Only vehicles allowed are those used in hunting.

Please avoid the following: leaving rubbish, shooting near dwellings, driving on track after rain. Over shooting (e.g. firing off a lot of shots at game) Leaving gates opened and not latching gate properly. Shooting fence posts and signs.

Property owners pet hates are leaving Gates open, leaving rubbish behind including ciggerrate butts laying on the ground. Disrespectful behaviour towards property, infrastructure and manager. Unwashed vehicle on arrival posing biosecurity threat.

 

Property History and Information

Westmar #4 - this is a third generation property that has been in the family for 85+years, originally bought pre WWII by my Grandfather and at the time was a very successful sheep station. We now run a successful Beef cattle operation.

Visitors enjoy the short 4hr drive from Brisbane to escape city life and enjoy the serenity of life in the bush for a weekend or week. Counter pub meals available 15 mins away at the local pub which is a nice break from cooking.

Hunters enjoy the properties proximity to Brisbane. Plentyful game.

For those not interested in hunting, there is a large dam 400m from the accomodation that is ideal for swimming and fishing. Birdwatchers would also enjoy their stay with plenty of birds to spot.

Additional Supplies
