Country With increased attention on the importance of building biodiverse and resilient landscapes, the vendor has invested much thought into developing the property towards increased capacity to build Natural Capital. Continuously grazed at conservative stocking rates for most of its history, a rotational grazing practice has been implemented to maintain ground cover, retain soil moisture and encourage a diversity of edible vegetation. The undulating landscape is transversed by Harris Creek, Millers Creek and Bucket Gully, being mostly open forest country timbered with silver-leaved iron bark and bloodwood with some old-growth brigalow, bottle tree and bauhinia. Eucalypt duplex uplands over granite with some basalt extrusions. Red to brown duplex soils with areas of brown to black cracking clay. The heavily grassed native pastures including Blue Grass, Kangaroo and Spear grasses with introduced Buffel, Rhodes, Urachloa and Seca Stylo, are all responding well to recent rain events.

“BUCKET GULLY” Woolein Qld | 11 The speed with which this country recovered from the extended dry ending in 2019 is testament to the integrity of the resources available in a diverse ecosystem. We have observed this landscape move from its original forested state 110 years ago, through phases of ring-barking, tordonning and pulling in the period up to the 1950s, to its present condition. Nancy Nott, in a journal entry in the early 1970s, noted scalding and bare areas and was of the opinion they were the results of earlier broad scale clearing and intensive grazing. Nancy responded by employing the management practice of thinning 2 out of 3 young trees every 15 to 20 years to encourage a balance of forest and pasture. The long-term benefits of this practice are easy to observe today. The last thinning was in 2001. Much science is available promoting the benefit of trees and herbage in grazed landscapes and Bucket Gully surely is evidence of this science. Not only do treed landscapes attract rain, they also aid in the capture of dew and transpired moisture and cool the landscape, reducing the extremes between maximum and minimum temperatures, providing soil conditions supportive of healthy soil biology. Water infiltration is increased, soil water holding capacity is increased and stock are provided with a much more comfortable, less stressful environment in which to graze. It is easy to appreciate the foresight of Nancy Nott in allowing this property to re-forest. Fifty years of stewardship have built a resilient landscape full of possibilities for the future.
