Much of the land is suited to grazing being an attractive mix of open grass-land and grassy-woodlands, with sections of native bushland where the creek intersects the property. The grazing areas are well fenced with substantial infrastructure for water and shelter.

An abundance of native fauna either reside on or frequent the property. Kangaroos, koalas and echidnas, as well as a colourful array of galahs and lorikeets are often seen or heard. The property is also the habitat for some rare species of native plants. Importantly, all water is sourced from the property. A newly equipped bore and high annual rainfall ensure a reliable and plentiful supply of water.
