It is a former sheep grazing property on a pastoral lease abutting the Murray River and the Murray-Sunset National Park in the Mallee region of north-western Victoria, south-eastern Australia.
Bagot first visited the area in late 1847 when he retrieved the body of his friend Fred Handcock, a fellow pastoralist who drowned nearby.
[1] Bagot started by grazing cattle but soon switched to sheep, using riverboats on the Murray to transport the wool.
It contains strips of River Red Gum forest and Black Box floodplain woodlands along the Murray and its associated wetlands.
Much of the rest of the property consists of flat alluvial plains with mallee woodlands, chenopod shrublands, semi-arid grasslands and ephemeral lignum wetlands.
