Killarney Station is a pastoral lease that operates as a cattle station in Northern Territory.

The property is situated approximately 150 kilometres (93 mi) south east of Timber Creek and 430 kilometres (267 mi) south of Darwin.

Wallco acquired Killarney in 2001 from Brian Oxenford's Western Grazing Company.[1] The property was being run in conjunction with neighbouring Birrimba Station forming an aggregation with an area of 5,515 square kilometres (2,129 sq mi) that was supporting a herd of 41,000 Brahman cattle.

In 2012 the property was run by Wallco Pastoral Company until it was placed in receivership by the National Australia Bank before a refinancing.[2]

Killarney was sold in 2014 to the Jumbuck Pastoral Company for about A$35 million. At the time it occupied an area of 2,819 square kilometres (1,088 sq mi).[3]

Most of Birrimba and a small portion of Killarney were burnt out by a bushfire in 2014.[4]
