MAKIWA - INFORMATION MEMORANDUM

Makiwa (ma-kee-waugh) has been
held by the Kuhn Family for thirty years.
During that time they have developed the
property to a very high standard.
makiwa.com.au
OVERVIEW Management has focused on maximising returns while caring
for the land. Sustainability of profitable production has
remained the constant objective.
Makiwa is equally suited to cattle and sheep.
An area of approximately 350 acres (142 hectares) is farmed
with fodder crops allowing flexibility to finish stock. A further
100 acres (40 hectares) has been farmed in the past.
Makiwa is located on the south western rim of the highly
productive Liverpool Plains and joins the very well known and
respected property “Rockgedgiel”.
It benefits from high quality basalt soils, a soft and temperate
climate and a magnificent north easterly aspect.
Not only does the north easterly aspect have significant
production benefits, it also provides stunning views from the
thoughtfully renovated homestead. The established garden
and tranquil setting make Makiwa a beautiful place to live.
MAKIWA - INFORMATION MEMORANDUM
The decision to sell Makiwa has not been taken lightly, but
family circumstances are such that Martin, Megan and Marcus
have concluded now is the time to move on to other
endeavours.

Soils
makiwa.com.au
The soils found on Makiwa are typical of those found in
the Liverpool Plains area and the surrounding foothills.
The property has basalt soils which possess qualities
of natural fertility and high water retention. The types
found on Makiwa range from black to chocolate.
The chocolate soils are very friable and are the first to
respond to rain. The heavier black soils are renowned
for their capacity to hold water. Having a balance
of these soil types provides adaptability to varying
conditions.
Over a period of twenty years, the sulphur based
fertiliser, SF45, has been applied regularly, with the
whole property benefiting from an application of
100 kilograms per hectare every four years with
applications of gypsum on some of the country as well.
Topography
The topography is generally gently sloping rising to
low hills. The small percentage of steep country forms
part of the southern boundary. The overwhelming
MAKIWA - INFORMATION MEMORANDUM
majority of the property can be accessed by four
wheel drive or ATV.
Sheltered valleys and a north easterly aspect provide
livestock with a highly suitable environment.
The property has established natural timbers which are
predominantly White Box, Apple Box and abundant
Kurrajong providing adequate shade and shelter.

Homestead
makiwa.com.au
Makiwa’s charming homestead has been extensively
renovated and it reflects the affection Martin, Megan
and Marcus have for their home.
The spacious open plan living area incorporates the
functional and well sized kitchen, dining and living
areas. This area enjoys sweeping views across the
plains and opens onto the southern courtyard and
northern facing verandah. The generously sized rooms
include four bedrooms, two bathrooms, office and
laundry/mud room and covers approximately 410
square meters (43 squares.).
Further comfort is added through extensive insulation
and a large evaporative air conditioning system which
is ducted throughout the homestead.
A slow combustion wood heater warms the house in
winter.
The homestead is set amongst established deciduous
and evergreen trees, lawn and gardens, with a paved
entertaining area.
A two car garage is adjacent to the homestead,
MAKIWA - INFORMATION MEMORANDUM
accessed by two remote control doors. It houses a 6’
x 6’ coolroom. There are additional kitchen facilities in
the garage, which combine with the coolroom to make
entertaining easy and enjoyable.
The homestead and garage are of sound weatherboard
construction with a Colorbond roof and they are
extremely well maintained.

The solid livestock yards are of steel and timber
construction, with the timber rails having been recently
renewed. They are designed to efficiently handle
both sheep and cattle with separate facilities where
required.
The cattle yards include a solid timber loading ramp, a
covered area with scales and an RPM crush.

Water
makiwa.com.au
A water system throughout the property provides
stock water to all paddocks.
A primary water source is a 24 ft (7.3m) well on Cox’s
Creek, equipped with a 600 gal/hr (2727 litres/hour)
solar pump which supplies a staged system. An
additional solar pump lifts to an elevated position
enabling reticulation via a pipe and tank network
across the property through the main system.
A bore (approximately 160 ft (49m) deep is equipped
with a 250 gal/hr (1136 litres/hour) solar pump, and
combines with water lifted from the Myall Paddock well
by windmill, which also joins into the main system.
There is a further 180 gal/hour (818 litres/hour) solar
system on a 40ft (12m) bore, feeding a small network
of troughs with the excess fed to the main system
through a gravity feed link.
An additional windmill draws to a 20,000 litre tank,
supplying a separate trough.
Based on 30 years experience, the property’s water
requirements have been met from the combination of
MAKIWA - INFORMATION MEMORANDUM
surface water storages, which can be linked via pipe to
the main water system, and the ground water supply.

Livestock
makiwa.com.au
For 30 years, Makiwa has been run as a productive
cattle and sheep grazing operation. This has been
multifaceted, with a combination of breeding and
fattening cattle and sheep, wool production and
backgrounding cattle to feedlot entry weights.
The Meat Merino sheep produce prime lambs as well
as cutting wool twice a year with an average 19 micron
diameter.
The breeding herd is predominantly Angus, based on
Te Mania blood.
The farming country is strategically used for finishing
steers or taking them to heavy feeder weights. It is
also used for finishing lambs.
The owners maximise the flexibility of Makiwa by
shifting the balance of their livestock according to
market demands and seasons. They have frequently
retained progeny for fattening and breeding
replacements. This results in fluid stocking rates which
are hard to convert into an average stocking rate.
The owners consider, if Makiwa were to be used purely
MAKIWA - INFORMATION MEMORANDUM
as a cattle breeding enterprise, it could be capable of
running approximately 400 cows in an average season.

Climate
makiwa.com.au
Long term rainfall records have not been kept at
Makiwa. However, adjacent properties have records
extending back for nearly 140 years, and they show an
average of around 26 inches (650mm) per annum.
The rainfall records contained in this Information
Memorandum are the combined resources of
“Rockgedgiel” and “Tamalie”, with the recording points
located approximately 5 to 6 kilometres to the north
and north east of “Makiwa”
It is generally acknowledged within the district that the
closer a property is to the range, the more likely it is
to pick up showers and storms.
It is therefore reasonable to assume the annual rainfall
at Makiwa is likely to be greater than that shown on
the chart on page 23 of this document
The proximity to The Coolah Tops, a branch of The
Great Dividing Range, frequently results in showers
and storms falling on Makiwa. The elevation of the
property delivers a more moderate temperature range
than at lower levels on the plains with cooler summer
temperatures and reduced frequency of frosts in the
MAKIWA - INFORMATION MEMORANDUM
winter.
The rainfall is normally evenly divided between summer
and winter. This enables year round grazing and the
production of summer and winter forage crops.

Farming Country
makiwa.com.au
An area of approximately 350 acres (142 hectares) is
used for the production of summer and winter fodder
crops.
A further 100 acres (40 hectares) has been previously
farmed.
Oats, winter wheat, forage sorghum and millet have
been grown at various times in rotation with lucerne,
clover and phalaris pastures.
Outstanding weight gains have been achieved while
finishing both cattle and lambs which enables the
maximisation of returns through value adding.
Standard inputs of nitrogen and starter fertiliser have
been applied.
