REMARKS: These properties were held by the late Mr. G. W. TRAILL for very many years, and are now only being sold to wind-up the Estate. The completion of the Railway through Bylong, which is under construction, will provide easy access to rail. The District rainfall averages about 25 inches per annum and is generally regarded as a very safe quarter of the State. The locality is perhaps more widely known through the reputation of several famous Blood Horse Studs, and “Wigelmar”, also “Yarran”, are considered well suited for this purpose, also for cattle breeding, in conjunction with other pursuits, including, fat lamb-raising. Inspection recommended.
