Remarks
Alva has a good variety of country and is renowned as a very sweet block. Running from pulled Gidgea country to semi shaded with Brigalow downs country to very strong Brigalow / Gidgea Country. A heavy carrying block which would suit numerous enterprises Fattening / Backgrounding / Breeding cattle or equally suited to sheep / goats. Carried 1150 backgrounder cattle in 2014 / 2015. It is under 100km s from the Blackall Saleyards and would easily be run with an absentee landlord. An inspection will pleasantly surprise.
