Jacaranda - Attractions & Activities

On the property:

The property will be established so that there is something for everyone to do – from pure relaxation or walking in a tranquil beautiful environment to some more active pursuits, or just simply enjoying being amongst the beautiful gardens and around a working farm.

Initially, the property will be set up with:

Mountain biking – there will be adult and children’s bikes available for use by owners both on extensive trails over the property, which measures 400,000m2 in total, as well as adjoining public unsealed roads. For the serious mountain-biker, a day’s excursion to the nearby Mundabiddi Bike Track is well worth the effort, with 300km of clearly marked and mapped trails.

Farm animals – the property will continue to be used for running sheep. Other stock, including horses may be kept on the property from time to time, creating an opportunity get close to a rural life or let the kids enjoy the company of farm animals in the surrounding paddocks. The property is also frequented with numerous kangaroos

Other facilities and activities may be established including:

Trout / Marron – Stocking dams with trout or marron. Marron is a freshwater crayfish, which makes excellent eating. Rods and traps would be stored on the property.

Horse Riding – Sourcing a few easy-riding horses, with tack, which will be based on the farm and available for shareholders to ride.
