Country:

Fertile Towerhill Creek frontage runs to Boree, broken Gidyea, Bauhinia black soil plains, open red soil forest with Ironbark, Bloodwood, Emu Apple, Desert Oak and areas of pulled Gidyea all contribute to the diverse pasture productivity.
Jireena has been conservatively stocked, in recent years, so following a good season in 2022 and now a good wet season in 2023, pasture density and productivity is currently at its best. Introduced pasture species include good stands of Buffel and Stylo’s complimenting the native species of Mitchell, Flinders, Kangaroo, Spinifex and White Spear grass. The usual browse is available and valuable winter herbages proliferate in the better seasons.
