Barmah State Forest north of the Nathalia township, and central
to the major regional hub of Shepparton, the historic port of
Echuca, and Cobram-Barooga river towns. The Murray River is a

"Glenora" homestead is superbly-appointed with period detail
throughout. Set in established country gardens and open lawn
surrounds that incorporate an inground pool, the homestead
features 12'6" decorative pressed tin ceilings and leadlight
windows. A modern gas and electric kitchen complete with a
large cellar adjoins the dining room and three of the four
bedrooms as well as the dining room have the original cast iron
open fires. A great asset to the property is an extremely high
quality domestic and stock bore that services the home, and
gardens as well as stock water piped to troughs in each of the
paddocks. Structural improvements on "Glenora" are in excellent
working yards, 2 machinery sheds, workshop/barn, 3 silos, and
fuel storage. About 7 km of established native plantations add to
the aesthetic atmosphere of Glenora providing shelter for
livestock and a natural habitat for the native birdlife, in particular
the resident Superb Parrot. The grazing enterprise comprises
medium wool Merinos producing 1st x lambs, and a first x ewe
flock for fat lambs and opportune finishing of trade lambs when
available. Typically 1500 - 2500 head are carried, dependent on
the area cropped and the availability of trade lambs. Historically,
typical crop yields for the cereals have been 2.5 to 3.75t/ha and
1.25 to 2t/ha for canola. Soil types are a versatile, quality fertile
red sandy loam and clay loam. "Glenora" has a 75 megalitre
pumping permit. This water is drawn from the irrigation channel
outfall drain with an electric 9 inch lift pump that commands
about 85 acres of laser levelled area.
