THE IMPROVEMENTS are very considerable, and adapted in every way for the accommodation and comfort of a large family, the principal of which are as follows, viz:
Seven-roomed verandah cottage, with kitchen and pantry, etc.
Brick-built stable, 4 stalls, with harness room and coach-house, and hay-loft overall.
Wool-shed and wool-house, with capital lever wool-press.
Large barn, shingled roof.
Four-roomed slab cottage, ditto. Two stores, shingled roofs.

An abundant supply of water both at the house and in the paddock.
THE EXCELLENT RUN, which is attached to this property (under the pre emptive right, and at the minimum Government rental), is capable of carrying about
EIGHT THOUSAND SHEEP, and has upon it all necessary huts and other improvements.

2500 Ewes, one to four years 634 Aged ewes
2121 Wethers, one to four years
31 Choice rams
6186 More or less, besides lambs, which - will be given in.
N B.-The wool from these sheep, as can be shown by account sales, has always brought high prices.
The quit-rent upon the purchased land is redeemed.
The delicate health of the proprietor is the sole cause for this compact and remunerative property being brought into the market, and the opportunity therefore should not be lost Bight of by any one seeking for a delightful residence, with a most profitable pursuit attached thereto.
The certainty of a railroad to Goulburn ought to enhance this estate immensely, as there can be no question whatever but that rich agricultural -lands in the immediate vicinity of Goulburn will, in the course of a few years, be of great value and importance.
THIS SPLENDID ESTATE AND SHEEP PROPERTY WILL POSITIVELY BE SOLD, AND HALF THE PURCHASE MONEY MAY REMAIN UPON MORTGAGE, WITH INTEREST AT EIGHT PER CENT.
