COUNTRY: Situated in the middle of major grain belt and the Surat Coal Basin, Albar is positioned on an elevated basalt ridge with rare 360 degree views of Dalby, Bunya Mountains and farming land to the East and West. The country comprises a basalt ridge with a picturesque coverage of Eucalypt trees; 50 acres of black soil; and good coverage of natural pastures. The property features an abundance of natural wildlife including ‘Pretty Face’ wallabies, echidnas and over 100 species of birds.
