SITUATED: On Tarwoona Road, 6km west of Lochiel, approximately 30km west of Texas, 80 km east of Goondiwindi, only 2 1/2 hours from Toowoomba and 3 1/2 hours from Brisbane.

Nearby townships of Texas, Inglewood and Goondiwindi provide amenities including shopping, medical, primary and secondary schooling. Serviced by cotton gins, grain and livestock markets, including major saleyards, feedlots and abattoirs.

COUNTRY: A range of soils varying from the heavy river loam on the flood plain (which is excellent cultivation and grazing country) to the southern side of the road with a lot of dark loam (suitable to high production cropping, both dryland and irrigated). Further south the soils lighten and the land changes to good grazing, then to pulled grazing and timbered grazing. Much of the lighter country has been pulled for grazing and could be further improved with pastures.

RAINFALL: 600mm (24 inch) annual average.

WATER: There are a number of stock watering points including dams, troughs and frontage to Dumaresq River.

IRRIGATION: 846ML newly developed and licensed, 90m deep irrigation bore, equipped with a diesel motor. It is included in the integrated system as security against failure of any part of the unit at a critical time. There is 262ML NSW River water licence (600ML Gen Sec A, 120ML Gen Sec B, 82ML Supplementary), and additional irrigation water may be purchased from other operators within the system on an annual basis if required. Three centre pivot irrigators cover 194ha (480ac). There is suitable country available to expand existing irrigation areas and there are other considerable areas of cultivation.

YARDS and FENCING: The stock yards are in fair condition with some work recently been done to them. Fencing varies in age and quality, but is all very stock proof.

IMPROVEMENTS: A well maintained timber homestead of three bedrooms and two bathrooms, with gauzed verandahs, in well-kept gardens and lawns over-looking a very attractive lagoon. Workmen’s quarters consisting of three rooms, kitchen and bathroom, in fair condition. Machinery shed, wool shed, a number of other buildings and sheds.
