BLUSHING Acres is a highly developed 181 hectare (447 acre) far North Queensland horticultural operation, underpinned by first class irrigation infrastructure and significant water allocations.
Located 2km west of Dimbulah and 76km from Cairns, the 181 hectare operation in two parcels has 56.4ha of mangoes and 19.7ha of avocados. There is a further 72ha used to produce 600-900 bales of mulch a year.
