The balance of the country is best described as stony Mulga timbered country that provides the water runoff to flood out the numerous channel systems with the main ones being Farrahs Creek, Middle Creek, New Year Creek and Palaparara Creek.

Waters: There are 18 bores or wells on Tonkoro, including 8 bores that were recently drilled. They are equipped with solar pumps, tanks and troughs. There are 18 dams of which many have been cleaned out recently. There are two older 90,000 litre poly lined storage tanks as well as five new 135,000 litre poly lined tanks that have been installed within the past month.

Fencing & Yards: Over the past seven years, there has been approximately 65km of new boundary fence erected. The balance of the boundary fence is in fair to good stock proof condition. The majority of the internal fencing is in good stock proof condition. There is approximately 25km of laneway with holding squares that link some of the outside paddocks to the second set of steel cattle yards and the main yards at the Tonkoro homestead complex. There are 8 main paddocks and 8 holding paddocks that include new coolers and trap yard.

The homestead yards have almost had a complete rebuild with a new internal pound draft, loading ramp and a double decker catwalk for access to double decker trailers while loading.

Agents Remarks: Tonkoro is considered a safe, low cost operation that has large areas of edible Mulga and the added fattening ability of the channels and bluebush swamp areas. It can be used as a consistent breeder property or a great backgrounding depot with potential for Organic status as well as the possibility of a large scale carbon project if desired. There has been considerable capital expenditure on Tonkoro over the last couple of years setting it up for the future. Tonkoro has consistently carried 4,500 breeders in recent years.
