CULTIVATION:     Total 2,300 acres has been cultivated.  850 acres currently cultivated and could be easily increased to 7,500 acres.

IRRIGATION:     DNRM authority to capture 5988ML of overland flow.  Very low threshold flows are gravity fed into 4 surge storages with a capacity of 1,958ML (covering 450 ha).  An authorised 660ML floodplain pump also lifts these low threshold flows into another 4,030ML cell covering 405ha.  This 4,030ML cell is also gravity fed from higher flows.

This scheme has been built to capture overland flows from Yarrill & Billa Billa Creeks as well as the Weir River.  Independent modelling on the Yarrill-Wyaga system shows an average take of 4,120ML per annum.   Note this scheme also takes overland flow from the Weir River & Billa Billa Creek systems but this water has not been included in the model.

FENCING:     New boundary fence (22.6km), new internal fence (10.3km), balance of fencing in good order & stock proof.

YARDS:     Steel & timber main yards to work 500 head, small set of old timber & steel yards at house.

CARRYING CAPACITY:      At present carrying 300 head of mixed cattle with a big body of feed.  This property would carry one breeder per 10 acres.  These numbers could be greatly increased with dry cattle and a full utilisation of irrigation.

IMPROVEMENTS:     33sq low set weatherboard homestead circa 1920, comprising 3 bedrooms, office, storeroom, open plan family room & kitchen, living and dining room, gauzed verandah with north easterly aspect set in a very attractive garden on the Weir River. 27m x 12m 3 bay steel frame machinery shed.  15m x 6m 5 bay timber frame hayshed with 9m x 6m skillion.

REMARKS:   Ellangabba is a short distance from Goondiwindi which has all amenities.  The property has an excellent balance of country, predominately open grasslands, with retained shadelines & cattle camps.  It is an ideal property for fattening or backgrounding and the undeveloped irrigation is ideally suited to the development of pivots, lateral or furrow irrigation systems.  The overland flow into the storages on this property is exceptional.  Historically rates of take of 5,000ML over 5 days have been achieved with this system without pumping.
