It receives an annual rainfall of up to 47 inches and produces stock of the highest quality. It is worth noting that Mr Bray has only grazed 1800 acres of the total 4769 acres. Very little superphosphate has been spread in latter years on the native tussock. Buildings and fences are of high standard and there is more than adequate shelter. An added feature of this property is a small lake covering three-quarters of an acre which carries a large number of wildlife throughout the year. We thoroughly recommend inspection of this property which is for genuine sale due to unforeseen circumstances. Inspection strictly by appointment with the Auctioneers.
