Once being a part of Pikedale both the now Terrica and Currajong Stations form most of the original Terrica Station which now comprise 33,344 acres of beautiful open rolling hills. [Extract from Terrica records of the 1800s today the country is advanced still further in value, and presents a soft, well cared for appearance. Bold grassy hills that command a view extend into the distant haze fall into undulating slopes and rich flats, and provide a passage for Treverton and Spring Creeks, Connors creek and innumerable watercourses fed by springs. On every hand the prospect pleases. Nearly the whole run is red basalt country.]
