REMARKS

Woolbrook is a landmark property in the Bigga district, and coupled with the well improved neighboring Dinghy Flat (sharing a common boundary) allows greater scale and presents an excellent opportunity to acquire a substantial land parcel in this renowned cattle and sheep grazing district.
