THIS week’s property review includes a wrap-up of interesting recent listings across the country, featuring two Queensland properties.

 Stirling Buntine lists central western Qld aggregation

 Versatile grazing country offered near Augathella

Northern cattle identity Stirling Buntine’s large-scale breeding, backgrounding and finishing aggregation in central western Queensland has returned to the market.

The 54,300ha Tulmur, 14,140ha Tranby and 6220ha Owens Creek holdings were offered for sale in April 2022 after less than three years ownership, but were withdrawn one month later following good rain.

JLL Agribusiness and RPL have been appointed to sell the 74,660ha aggregation that sits on the banks of the Diamantina River.

They said it represents an opportunity for investors seeking an efficient, low-cost breeding, backgrounding and finishing enterprise with direct frontage to the renowned Diamantina River.

The aggregation is located 100km south-west of Winton, and provides good access to the north, and to end-markets located to the south and east.

In addition to the 74,660ha on offer, there is 5500ha of potential access to the River Channel Stock Route (linked to Tulmur).

There are areas of open Mitchell and Flinders grass downs to the east transitioning to broken gidyea woodlands and hills to the west. Diamantina River flood-out channels are growing healthy stands of blue bush, buffel and seasonal grass species.

The aggregation is estimated to run around 4000 adult equivalents or 3000 breeders plus progeny.

JLL’s Chris Holgar said the land and soil types are complimentary yet productive and make the central west region of Queensland desirable, providing the ability to produce cattle, sheep meat and wool.

Tranby is situated in a 415mm annual rainfall region. It has a flowing bore linked to a network of tanks and troughs. Tulmur is watered by dams and a network of seasonal and semi-permanent waterholes in the Diamantina River and Williams Creek systems, while four dams provide water to Owens Creek.

Infrastructure includes two homestead complexes — Tulmur and Tranby — quality fencing and three cattle yards.

The Tulmur, Tranby and Owens Creek Aggregation is offered for sale bare of livestock, plant and equipment, via an expressions of interest process closing on May 29.

Versatile grazing country offered near Augathella

Breeding, backgrounding and finishing country in south-west Queensland is being offered for sale for the second time in 100 years by Garry Washbrook after 42 years of ownership.

The 19,733ha Wadeholme is located near Langlo, 90km west of Augathella and 96km north-west of Charleville. It neighbours the 30,759ha Noella that changed hands two years ago.

The property is situated in a 450mm rainfall area and is currently enjoying an excellent season while being lightly stocked.

The pulled country is established to buffel pastures, soft natural grasses and a mixture of salines and herbages.

Extensive mulga areas pushed over the years are also growing buffel, as well as extensive low mulga regrowth reserves.

The soft red and chocolate soils support a variety of timbers including gidyea, brigalow, blackbutt, box, sandalwood, yarran and mulga.

Thousands of hectares are flooded and irrigated by the numerous creeks running through the property.

Wadeholme is watered by 14 dams, numerous semi-permanent waterholes, a new sub-bore and two older bores.

Infrastructure includes a three-bedroom home, a two-bedroom cottage, cattle yards, an old shearing shed and two sheds.

Wadeholme will be auctioned with some plant and equipment, but bare of stock, on June 18 by Elders agent Keith Richardson.
