TEXAS #5 HUNTING PROPERTY

Texas #5 property has a total land area of 1,250 acres, with a mix of hilly, mountainous, scrub, and forest terrain. Visitors can sight deer, pigs, foxes, cats, rabbits, and hares. This property is a perfect place to connect with nature and enjoy the fresh air with family and friends.

Visitors can use any vehicle to reach this property but a 4WD is needed to drive around the property. It is a 15km drive from the nearest town. 

There are no sleeping quarters available, but the property offers various areas for visitors to put up their tents. There is no need to bring firewood for the campfire, as there is plenty of wood available around the property.

However, visitors must bring all other necessary camping, and hunting gear. Do not forget to bring warm clothes if visiting during winter.

When hunting, visitors can sight their guns and bows at specified safe sites. Property owners allow target shooting but please be aware at all times and follow the safety precautions outlined within the signed agreement signed at the time of booking. There should be no indiscriminate shooting.

A Telstra phone connection is available at high points.

The property is located along the Dumareso River in Texas and Oaky Creek is also found within the property. It is a very hilly rough, timbered country, with several dams. In some areas, you can find a streak of mountains and forests. Visitors can enjoy picturesque views at high points.
