The property has been strategically cleared for grazing and cultivation, with the south-western corner lightly to moderately timbered and the riparian area along Saltwater Creek lightly timbered.

In addition to the livestock operation is up to 380 hectares of cultivation land, with crops previously grown including wheat, barley and oats. Farming is currently limited to fodder production and pasture improvement to facilitate fattening progeny to domestic weights.

Underpinning its productive capacity are alluvial areas along the Saltwater and Yuggel creeks featuring deep-cracking black clay (vertosol) soils known for their high water-holding capacity. The remainder of the soils are chocolate/black basalts through to sandy loams and gravelly red loams in the southern reaches.

The 6.5-metre deep bore located near Saltwater Creek is equipped with an electric submersible pump supplying a 45,000-litre concrete tank plus a 22,500-litre poly tank that gravity feed to 11 troughs.
