Benyenda Citrus

has been a family owned citrus orchard since its inception in the 1920's. walter benham from south australia recognized the north burnett region as one of the most suitable in australia ( both for climate and soil quality ) for growing quality citrus. also the position he chose utilized one of the longest and deepest basalt base water holes on the burnett river guaranteeing there was always enough water for irrigation even in droughts. expanding from there, two other citrus farms were planted and developed over many years followed more recently by a fourth property which has joined the benyenda brand. all farms are owned and operated by the benham families. each farm has its own character and personalities along with a diversity of interests. please view each of these from the menu above. some of these pages are still in the developmental stages.
