A heritage station homestead 86km east of Alice Springs, built in 1898 during the early pastoral era. The stone buildings, old machinery, and restored outbuildings tell the story of pioneering life in the remote Red Centre. A good base for exploring the East MacDonnell Ranges. The Arltunga Historical Reserve is nearby. One of the best-preserved examples of early Central Australian pastoral heritage. The homestead operated as a cattle station for over 50 years in some of Australia's harshest country.
