Additional Info

The farmer has a Covenant that permits his water pipe to go through the land and pays half of the standing charge and for his metered water. A small section of the fence between the paddock and the farmer's field is to be maintained by the owner of Donadea Lodge as a stock proof fence. (This was replaced approximately 5 years ago so is in very good order.)
