Best Answer

The country in that area is very rough and rugged, a little more so than the rugged areas that are used for ranching in the United States and Canada. It is better used as country for cattle, sheep and brumbies (wild horses) to be raised and grazed on, than for growing crops or raising hogs, chickens and dairy cattle on.
