Timber consists of Gum, Myall, Leopard Wood, Sandlewood & Dog Wood. Native herbages & salines are also present and are interspersed throughout. The 12-mile swamp creek intersects the Southeastern corner of "Yeranbah" providing beneficial flood out in season.
The western side of "Yeranbah" is predominantly Narran River floodplain with grey self-mulching soils with vast stands of Belah. There have been areas cleared and some 700 acres pulled.
"Yeranbah" has been stocked with 3,000 ewes + followers since purchase with exception of drier years where the country and feed has been prioritised. In season there has been 100 to 200 steers run on the western side of the property as a trade opportunity.
There is a gravel pit on "Yeranbah" located just to the east of the Koomalah road, which has potential for supplementary income to the successful purchaser.

Water:
"Yeranbah" is a part of the Yeranbah Bore Trust. The bore feeds the property via a mix of 90mm, 65mm & 50mm Polyethylene Pipe. Being at the head of the system the pressure is sufficient to run troughs throughout the property with ease.
There are 19 troughs on Yeranbah with most connected to a 22,500lt tank however there are some that are connected direct to the pipeline. There are several risers located throughout the property that are currently unconnected. The homestead complex is supplied water by the bore system as well as a ground tank supplying water to the garden via windmill. Rainwater tanks are also installed at the House, Shearing Shed & Workshop. There are 9 ground tanks located throughout "Yeranbah" providing stock water.
