The property is a total of 103 acres ( about 40 hectares ) |
|
Our garden shed is 60 feet * 40 feet and has its own 10,000 gallon rain water tank. It has a full concrete floor, power and its own kitchen. |

The main reason we purchased the property was the beautiful 800 metres of waterfront where you can water-ski, fish or just watch the pelicans fly in. |
|
The vineyard and olive grove are watered via drip irrigation system which is has in total over 20 km of hosepipe. |
|
Last year the property used about 6 megalitres of water ( 6 million litres) |
|
We have a water allocation of 74 megalitres, and any water we do not use we are able to sell, the current sell rate is $126 per megalitres (about £52) |
|
In addition to the vineyard the property has approximately 3000 olive trees which we hope will start to produce some high quality oil in 2008/09. |
|
Approximately 60 acres of the property is farmed for cereal crops, which are rotated annually to ensure soil quality. The current crop is wheat. |
|
Despite the property being some 150 miles from Melbourne it is possible to reach using your turning indicator less than 10 times once out of Melbourne Airport. |

The closest "town" is Bundalong where the Murray River meets the Ovens River. It is approximately 3 miles and has a pub and a store. |
