Comprising of rolling hills covered in buffel grass and green panic, the country was originally timbered with brigalow, bonewood, bottletree and softwoods.
The country runs down to fertile creek flats, which are well established with improved pastures.
Water is a feature of Prospect Park with one flowing bore and a second equipped bore. There are also three dams plus water holes in Prospect Creek. A telemetry system monitored the entire water system.
Improvements include a large four bedroom, two bathroom home set in an established garden. There is also an enclosed steel shed with a small workshop, and a skillion with three phase power. There steel cattle yards that are well serviced by laneways and water squares.
The marketing of Prospect Park was handled by Brad Hanson and Gary Bishop from Hourn & Bishop Qld.
