Hi all,

My wife and I have just bought 12 hectares near Beechworth and have millions of ideas. We want to set up a hobby farm/organic market garden in the future and run a few animals also.

Im looking at purchasing around 700 acres in the New England region as a hobby / small production farm of goats and beef cattle has a few dams and creek water and relatively good boundary fencing for cattle. I would like to keep atleast 500 goats or so also once the fencing is up graded and divided into cells would I be able to make a small profit on running beef and goats. Any infomation would be greatly appreciated.

Hello my name is Andrew,

My family has owned a parcel of land in the wollongong region for 150 years.

The property is now roughly 100 acres (50 of thick scrub and 50 of heavily weeded wirey Kikuyu.

Recently we have started to spray the weeds on our property hoping to get it cleared of weeds and mowed so we can begin to start farming again.

Hi, 

I am interested in some advice about potentially buying 1000 acres in the Hunter Valley to graze cattle on. I currently live overseas and will return to Australia over next few years and will build a house on it and live there as a primary residence. We have two young boys who I would love to allow them to grow up in this lifestyle. I have no experience in farming.

hello & thanks for the add to group. I am looking at a 570 acre property near stroud nsw, about 100 acres are cleared & the rest is steep dense rainforest with a large ammount of lantana present. Can someone help with advise on what my responsibility will be in regards to this, eg what time frame do you normally get to start eradication, what rate of treatment would be acceptable to keep authorities happy that you are genuinly having a go (acres per month treated), average cost per acre for self treatment & approx cost per acre for a contractor to do it.

Hi Forum Team,

My partner and I are looking at purchasing 100-200 acres in North East Victoria. We've looked at a few and havesome more to look at this weekend.

I've put a list of questions to the agent about easements, rates, soil type, soil and water testing, zoning, how far away is phone and power etc.

When you bought your land, is there anything that you wished you had asked or found out before you purchased?

Any advice would be appreciated.
