Canobie Station

The property occupies an area of 4,291 square kilometres (1,657 sq mi) of Queensland's Gulf Country and is able to carry a herd of approximately 35,000 gulf-composite cattle.

[1] The area is made up of black soil plains like much of the Gulf Country; the Georgina basement rocks are overlaid with sediments of the Carpentaria basin.

Surrounding properties recorded water levels as rising over 12 feet (4 m), causing widespread destruction and the loss of hundreds of stock.

The plane, a Dragon Rapide, landed at the property on schedule but when it was restarted for take-off an engine burst into flames, which soon engulfed the entire aircraft.

[9] Both Canobie and nearby Wondoola Station are being explored for nickel deposits by a joint partnership between Anglo American and Falcon minerals.
