Notice the swordpear
around the base of the more distant bottle tree. Bourneville was thick with the pest pear before the cactoblasis moth was introduced but this swordpear was resistant and survived well where there is treecover but does not thrive in the open. In recent years a mealy bug has been introduced which keeps it's presence in decline. Swordpear grows from a bulb and is very slow to spread, quite unlike harrisia cactus. It has no effect on beef production so I have learned to live with it, until several years ago I sprayed an area off the quad with Brushoff (Ally) and the result was excellent. A little sworpear can be seen in most of the photos in this blog.Most photos were taken in the extreme dry of last year when I was on the quad taking GPS
readings to define the boundaries of the three deeds that make up the land we are offering for sale. Fencing can be done after a deal can be made between three buyers.
On the other hand someone might want to buy the lot and even with Woodlands over the
road and that would give entitlement to the 224 megalitre per annum irrigation licence.
If the three deeds are sold separately the irrigation licence out of the bores would have to be apportioned. There are also two water licences of 8 hectares each to irrigate out of Gogango Creek and the lagoon.
