Wongamah is located 17 km south-east of Tarcutta and 61 km south-east of the regional centre of Wagga Wagga. Wongamah is accessible from the Westbrook and Oberne-Umbango roads. The newly completed Tarcutta bypass of the Hume Highway provides safe access under the Hume to Wagga Wagga, while also providing easy access to the highway dual carriageway to Sydney, Canberra and Melbourne.

The holding comprises an area of 186 hectares or 460 acres on two freehold titles.

Wongamah has double frontage to the Tarcutta creek and water can be pumped from the creek for stock and domestic use. An equipped bore above the house with a storage tank gravity feeds to the house and paddocks, a second source of water is a dam sited in a high valley that also gravity feeds to the house and paddocks. There are four dams on the property and the annual average rainfall is 700mm.

Wongamah is well timbered with Red Gum, Yellow and Grey Box along the flats to Grey and Apple Box and Kurrajong on the rising country. There is approximately 200 acres running adjacent to the Tarcutta Creek of gently undulating arable country. The balance of the land is on the southern side of the Oberne-Umbango road which rises up to open steeper country with native pastures of trefoil, red grass, microlaena and kangaroo grass.

Pastures on the lower country are phalaris and clover with Lucerne along the creek. This year 15 acres of Eurabbie oats and 25 acres of oats and rye has been sown on the flats south of the Tarcutta Creek. Also phalaris and sub clovers have been drilled into the paddock north of the Lucerne paddock planted in 2013 which is north of the creek.

The three bedroom home has an easterly aspect taking in views to the Tarcutta Creek and the hills beyond. The home is comfortable year round in the open plan kitchen living area with reverse cycle air conditioning and a slow combustion wood heater. In recent years the kitchen has been renovated with new appliances fitted giving a modern fresh feel and the bathroom has also been tastefully refurbished.
