Moorimbina is comprised in two aggregations of country which creates an excellent dairy package, having the balance of sheltered warm gum country in the Joanna area through to high fodder production flood irrigation land at Gum Point. The Joanna land is approximately 20kms south west of Naracoorte and the Gum Point country is midway between the main dairy and the Naracoorte Township which creates a convenient opportunity for supervision of the land during daily duties.

The Joanna land which includes the main improvements can best be described as outstanding. The soils vary from Terra Rosa over limestone through to heavy loams over clay and limestone. The balance of the land caters for irrigation by Centre Pivot and travelling irrigator, ideal night/day paddocks, and a good healthy environment for the milking herd and much of the dry stock and replacements. It should be noted that the proliferation of vineyards in the area over the past decade is an indication of the high regard held for the Joanna area in terms of soils, water quality and climate.

The Gum Point district is widely recognised for fodder production and grazing ability from Spring to early winter and therefore has attracted numerous dairy farmers seeking to manage their own fodder production while preserving their core properties for the herd and milk production. Recent developments have seen the successful introduction of centre pivots with no native vegetation issues, the land having originally been grass plains.
