Special Rural Properties, Western Australia Special Rural Properties are a type of property ranging from two to ten hectares (or five to twenty five acres) allowing the owners to engage in special types of rural pursuits without needing a very large property or working farm. The types of uses are generally similar throughout Western Australia, although most local municipalities or shires often adjust the uses permissible to suit. Typical uses include a small area of agriculture or horticulture as well as the keeping of small numbers of animals. With these uses available, a Special Rural Property can provide what is locally known as a "hobby farm" for people used to living in the city for a fraction of the cost of a real working farm. People who have these hobby farms are aften referred to "Tree Changers" characterized as being tired of living in the city and desiring to live a rural country life.

The area was settled as early as 1840 (South Australia settlement began in 1836) and provided early farming and mining outputs for the fledgling colony. Farming is still significant in the area, particularly wheat, sheep and grapevines. There are not currently any significant mining activities in the Mid North.

Finally, Mixed farming incorporates livestock and crops on a single farm. Some mixed farmers grow crops purely as fodder for their livestock; some crop farmers grow fodder and sell it to pastoral farmers.
