Location: The farm is just 1/2km off the Ayr Dalbeg Road which runs along the bank of the Burdekin River, 54km South of Ayr and 1-1/2 hours South of Townsville.

Area and Tenure: 66.19 hectares or 163.5 acres on 3 freehold titles.

Services: Bitumen Road frontage, 3-phase power, weekly garbage collection. There is a Primary school in Millaroo as well as a swimming pool and social club. A secondary school bus run goes to Ayr. Ayr is over 8500 people with large supermarkets, many health facilities as well as a wide variety of specialty shops. Townsville has nearly 180,000 people with a large Defense, Industrial and Government economy.

Improvements: The 3 bedroom block home is only 16 years old and is surrounded by lush lawn and tropical trees in a very quiet rural setting. The road passing services only one other farm and so has little passing traffic. A bore with an electric submersible pump supplies good quality water to the house and garden on demand.

A large 10 bay steel machinery shed and workshop has 3-phase power and water connected.

Soil: More than 80% of the farm is river loam soil with the balance running to clay. It is all laser leveled and flood irrigated with long straight drills and no angles or small blocks. It is a very well laid out farm that is easily watered in 4 days.

Water: The farm has a 500ML Sunwater channel allocation which is charged at about $44/ML including GST. There are 4 outlets that are all gravity fed so there are no pumps on the farm. The underground pipe running along the two headlands is 15 inch concrete and delivers the water to the drills via plastic fluming.

Crop and Machinery: Included in the sale is 68% of the 2009 cane crop which is estimated to be approximately 6,000t or about 4,000t to the buyer. This amount is because the farm has just come out of a lease arrangement with the balance going to the previous lessee. Approximately 15 acres has just been planted to cane with the balance under cane.

Machinery included in the sale are: Fiat 115-90 tractor with air cab, Ford backhoe, Fiat 750 tractor, David Brown 25D tractor, McCormack International tractor with front grabs, 80in Howard Rotary hoe with crumble roller, 3pt linkage 1/2t fertilizer spreader, 60 in rotary hoe, chisel plough scarifiers, back blade, 2 x fertilizer boxers, Howard slasher, 28 plate disc plough with roller.
