Lots dustier than Nundle unfortunately.
This was actually the closest civilisation, about 30 miles away. this was it, just the pub, nothing else, not so much as a house!

Only prob is that 3,300ha wouldnt feed cr#p out there LOL. You could run about 100 sheep, just enough to kill for mutton chops for the food for the pub .

Here's Nundle pub. It's got a famous history as it was once used in a Japanese made spaghetti western filmed in Nundle! Hence the saloon doors. The current owners' family won the pub in a game of cards at the turn of the century. During gold rush time there were 52 pubs in Nundle (on for every week) most of them along one road called Happy Valley Road!

The Nundle Pub looks like a spaghetti western 
. With 52 pubs no wonder it was called Happy Valley Rd .
Thems the ones!
Ok it would be more than 100 but still not many! We used to have 83,000 acres (um about 30,000ha?) & ran about 5000-6000 sheep in a good season. Down to 2500-3000 in a drought (3 of the 5 years I was there!) So 3,000 ha isnt gonna run very much out there! Probably leasehold as well, most of it is out there.
Its 77 kms from Quilpie & about 120 kms from Thargominda, & absolutely nothing in between & nothing there but the pub, I dont think even Mr Bundy would be mad enough to want to buy it! Quilpie is a virtual city compared with Thargomindah, but I wouldnt be writing home about either of them .
At least Eulo (the closest town I mentioned earlier) despite being tiny had a bit of character about it & of course the famous Paroo Track where they hold the world lizard racing championships. All class, just like Mr Bundy at Newmarket!
Wanted to go to the races at Newmarket while we were in UK, but didnt get a chance, just went & visited, but of course everything was closed cos it was winter .

Never underestimate the power of Mr Bundy's insanity. It knows no bounds. But he's a NSW boy and I can't see him wanting to live anywhere other than his home state...
We were living on a small property - 20,000 acres, 8000 cattle, 6000 sheep and 4000 goats. Never saw many goats though, so god knows where they were hiding!
You missed out on Newmarket! We go every year to the Countryside Alliance raceday at the end of May and it's great. No lizard racing in these parts though.

20000 acres must be fairly big by Nundle standards. Places around there I imagine would mostly be alot smaller than that.

Yeah, we were there just after xmas, so nothing was happening. Might see if we can go when we go back this time. You'll probably be there still, we will have to get together!

It's a deal - if you come back here while will still here (ie before next summer), we'll take you to Newmarket. It's only a 15 minute drive from where we are. When are you next coming over???!!
Wombramurra, the property we were on, is pretty big, but there are bigger properties - one at 37,000, another at 36000. ANd just up the back of Nundle there's a property thats about 325,000. The there's Kerry Packer's place at Elliston, a couple of hours away, and that's something like 90,000. But you're right, there are a lot of hobby farms around Nundle too.
