Converting from a field to a farm

We have 80 acres of pasture on productive brigalow scrub soil at the foot of Mount French in Queensland’s Scenic Rim. When we bought the property it was one of two titles with all of the infrastructure and access being on the title that we didn’t buy. The access to our property is currently via a windy dirt road that becomes very entertaining to travel on when it rains.

To be productive beef farmers we have a laundry list of improvements we need to make:
– Permanent and council approved road to the property
– Stockyards to work the cattle safely
– Water – both for the cattle and for the future shed / farmhouse
– Fences to encourage the cattle to feed in the areas we want them to
– Internal driveway and pads for stockyard, sheds and future farm house.

We started with the driveway and pads and for that we needed some big toys. Since we don’t have them we enlisted the help of Bevan Klan from Klan Brothers Earthmoving. Seen here is one of those toys.
