AUCTIONEER’S NOTE: This unit for many years has been very conservatively farmed, and mainly utilised as a grazing and fattening proposition with a small amount of cash crop annually. The property was taken up by the Late James Hughes in 1914 and has been farmed by the family since then. This block has a terrific potential and we feel sure that by further subdivision and the application of fertiliser the increase in returns would be quite outstanding. It is becoming more difficult every day to obtain land in this most sought-after locality and to all prospective purchasers we thoroughly recommend an early inspection.
