Presented by the Olive family, the fully developed property is testament to the late Joe Olive and his forward thinking pasture development work.
The fully developed property is being sold with about 1000 high quality, station bred Brahman breeders and station plant.
Located at St Lawrence, 160km north of Rockhampton and 168km south of Mackay, the generally flat to gently undulating country is predominantly a mixture of coastal scrub and forest country.
