A working cattle station and outback roadhouse 100km east of Uluru on the Lasseter Highway. The station has been run by the Severin family since 1956. Provides fuel, meals, accommodation, and a genuine working-station atmosphere. The isolation and authentic outback character make this a memorable stop. Curtain Springs has operated continuously since the 1950s and is the last fuel stop between Uluru and Kings Canyon. The family station atmosphere is genuinely outback.
