Bencubbin  

Sandalwood cutters were in the area as early as the 1860's and a sheep station was run from 1867. The first farm land was taken up in 1908, in the town of Bencubbin.

The area is primarily devoted to wheat, course grains and sheep farming, although some farmers have diversified into cattle and pigs.

There are many varied points of interest, all serviced by good roads.

Bencubbin is found on the border of wheat and station country. This explains the wonderful variety of beautiful wildflowers and birdlife found throughout the shire. Birds are found all year round, and wildflowers are best seen during the season between June and September/October.
