On this area of land are a large granite rock of Aboriginal significance, one main dam. one smaller dam, and two fenced paddocks, used for growing hay from 1927 to 1944. Many old roads lead to and from the rock to other dams in the area. It is situated on Parmango Road. There are no fruit trees left alive in the orchard. The netting is intact but overgrown.
The dam was originally sunk to water sheep being shepherded in the area. The paddock was fenced in 1927 with rabbit proof netting. The horses that were originally put there in the 1890s to breed, were used until 1949 by the Dimer family. There are still horses to be found there today.
Integrity: The water holes are in good original condition. The fenced paddock is in bad shape but materials are still there.
