Overview
“Crystal Hills is a small breeding and grower property located approximately 90 km from Rockhampton off the Anchor/ Lenz Roads between Gogango and Duaringa on the Capricorn Highway.

“Crystal Hills” is safely watered by dams and running creeks that dry back to semi permanent holes in most years. There is a permanent hole at the yard.
