Historically run as a Merino and cattle property, however over the past five years they have changed direction and are now running a very successful Dorper breeding property currently carrying around 8,000 Dorper x sheep plus 400 breeding cattle and opportunity to take approx. Large numbers of cattle on agistment subject to season. Seasonal goats mustered also returning around $50,000 to $60,000 per annum.
Operation:
Currently Comeroo is being run as an outback holiday retreat offering a unique look at a real life station operation being largely holidays by the creek, camel rides, hunting and camping. The accommodation facilities are comfortable with Bruce & Chris’ hospitality and knowledge of the outback is second to none. This business on its own creates a very worthy cash flow and could be continued if desired.
