Maryvale Station

Maryvale
Location in the Northern Territory

Coordinates: 24°40′27″S 134°04′20″E / 24.6741°S 134.0722°E Maryvale Station is a pastoral lease that operates as a cattle station in the Northern Territory.

It is situated about 107 kilometres (66 mi) south of Alice Springs and 320 kilometres (199 mi) east of Yulara. The ephemeral Finke and the Hugh River both flow through the property but it is still dependent on bores and dams for watering stock.[1] The Indigenous Australian community of Titjikala is situated within the boundaries of the station. The property shares a boundary with Horsehoe Bend Station to the south, Allambi to the east, Deep Well and Orange Creek to the north and with Henbury and Idracowra Stations to the west.[2]

The ephemeral Finke and Hugh Rivers both flow through the property. The unusual rock formation, Chambers Pillar is also situated within the station boundaries.

The property has an average stocking rate of approximately 6,500 head of cattle. It is equipped with a three bedroom homestead, a four bedroom staff house, workers quarters, workshop, sheds, cattle yards and is divided into 14 paddocks.[1]

As of 2014 the 3,244 square kilometres (1,253 sq mi) property was still on the market along with at least 15 others in the Kimberley and Northern Territory.[3]
