Bulga Downs Station
[1] Bulga Downs consists primarily of sand-plain country with outcrops of granite and ironstone.The trees and shrubs found in the area include mulga, sugar-brother, bowgada, mallee gums, saltbush and bluebush.The 300,000-acre (121,406 ha) station was only partially improved at the time and was only carrying 1,500 sheep and some cattle.[4] It was also experiencing problems with wild dogs attacking the stock.[7] The McQuie family acquired the 2,870-square-kilometre (1,108 sq mi) property in 1984 and converted the station from grazing sheep to Angus cattle during the 1990s due to dingo problems.
