Long renowned for its premium beef, cheese and fishing industries and more recently golfing and lifestyle pursuits, King Island is situated in Bass Strait midway between Cape Otway in Victoria and the north west tip of Tasmania. With a mild climate and reliable rainfall, it has some of the best grass growing farmland in Australia. Frosts are rare and on average only 3 days each year break 30 degrees. Annual rainfall varies from 1,200mm in the south to 800mm in the north, so this centrally located property is probably midway between these figures. The property is located approximately 12km north of the main township Currie, with frontage to North and Heddles Roads and Snodgrass Lane.
