Remarks: The name "Gilgai" - meaning melon hole says it all. Offering heavy melon hole scrub country only minutes from the thriving township of Chinchilla on the Western Downs, this is a rare opportunity to secure choice grazing property in a tightly held location. Properties of this calibre, combining quality cattle country and close proximity to town seldom become available.
