Dirranbandi #3 is a 25,000-acre property comprising open grassland and scrub, with nearby rivers and dams, including the Balonne River.

There are a number of activities to keep visitors busy, including plenty of wild pigs, foxes, cats, rabbits, hares, and ducks to hunt. The property is also a great place to roam around on your motorbike, quad, Polaris, or buggy. Visitors may also like to fish, with cod, yellowbelly, and yabbies to catch. It is also a perfect place for bushwalking, photography, and birdwatching and young visitors can enjoy feeding poddy calves on the property.

This property is a 55km trip from the nearest town using a four-wheel drive vehicle. A 4WD is also suitable for traversing the property. 

There are currently no sleeping quarters available, but visitors can choose from a range of campsites in various types of terrain. Firewood is abundant and visitors can gather and use this free of charge. While there is no need to bring firewood, visitors must bring all the other camping and hunting gear they may need to sustain their stay on the property.

Visitors should not shoot near the house and at or near livestock, although the property owners do permit target shooting. Hunters must remain mindful at all times while shooting and follow all the required safety precautions agreed to at the time of booking.

Property History and Information

The property owners purchased 20,000 acres of land to raise cattle, sheep, and goats, with a dream of also creating a sustainable and organic farm. This led them to also cultivate the property with wheat and oats.

They wish to share this beautiful terrain with visitors who love to connect with nature, while also offering hunters the opportunity to balance the ecosystem by helping remove unwanted and excessive animals. The owners are confident visitors will enjoy their stay and they are available for a chat if visitors wish to connect or ask questions.

There are several beautiful tourist attractions in the area for visitors to enjoy, including Riversand Vineyards, river cruises at Saint George, Cubbie Station tours, Balonne Artesian Thermal Hot Spring, and Hebel Pub (one and half hours away).

Additional Supplies

If visitors have neglected to bring any essential or luxury items, that is not a concern. There are several fuel stations in Saint George and across the Dirranbandi area. Supply stores include Foodworks and IGA supermarkets, and cafes are open 7 days a week. There are many great pubs too. Usual opening hours are from 5.30am to 10pm.
