COMMENTS
You enter history when you enter "The Cutting". The 400m section was carved by hand by the pioneers in the 1850s as part of a steam-train railway line from Warwick to Killarney which operated until 1966. The Cutting is now a private all-weather driveway which opens out into stunning views where once walked the explorers Cunningham and Mitchell, themselves in the timeless footsteps of the Githabul people. The property looks directly at Mitchell's peak, Mt Superbus and the Great Dividing Range. Visitors include numerous species of migratory birds, from blue fairy wrens and willy wagtails in the rose gardens, to colourful grass parrots, elegant black sacred ibis and hovering hawks.
