Description
We are a family owned working cattle station in Outback Queensland. Quite remote, 5 hours west of Townsville, or 6 hr drive south west of Cairns, we are on top of the Great Dividing Range, offering a very pleasant climate all year round. We have 64 000 acres of beautiful springs, and heaps of wildlife, emus, brolgas, wild pigs, echidnas, and the occasional koala.
