This 129.86 hectare (320.88 acre) property in the Binjour district is a combination of premium cleared scrub country, naturally timbered scrub country and scrub country planted to hardwood timber. Binjour district is known for its volcanic rich, red scrub soil which was utilized for planting peanuts in past years.
