The owners purchased 'The Cedars' in 1992 and since that time they managed and developed the property as a sustainable breeding enterprise that has a conservative stocking rate of 350 breeders even through the drier seasons. A tidy grazing property offering a large family home, close proximity to major centres and cattle markets, bitumen road frontage makes 'The Cedars' a great place to call home.

'The Cedars' is situated in the Dumgree district above the Callide Dam on the Coal Road. The property is serviced by Biloela which is 29* kilometres south west of the property and the port city of Gladstone is 96* kilometres with full bitumen road access.
The country is sweet forest country with blue gum hollows and rolling ridges running back to steeper along the eastern boundary. Evidence of conservative stocking and good management is evident with the strong stands of native bluegrass along with improved pastures and legumes.
