Horseshoe Bend Station is a pastoral lease that operates as a cattle station in the Alice Springs region of the Northern Territory. The property occupies and area of and includes approximately frontage to the ephemeral Finke River with a string of semi-permanent waterholes.〔 Situated upstream of Crown Point Station, the homestead is on the Depot sandhills near the junction of the Finke and the Hugh Rivers. The property includes a desert block that has never been developed. The station was originally a staging post for the Overland Telegraph Line and the North-South Road.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Horseshoe Bend Station )〕 The Old Ghan Railway line passes approximately from the homestead which once boasted a post office and a hotel.〔 The area around the station was hit hard by drought in 1897, so much so that several of the surrounding properties were abandoned. The second owners of the property were Sergeant and Elliot who operated a hotel from the homestead.〔 Sargent and Elliot acquired the property some time prior to 1908 when they were restocking the property with cattle.〔 〕 Sargent died in 1912.〔 〕 Pastor Carl Strehlow, the founder of Hermannsburg, died and was buried at the station.〔 He arrived at Horseshoe Bend in 1922 after a buggy ride from Hermannsburg while en route to reach medical treatment in Adelaide.〔 ==See also== *List of ranches and stations 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Horseshoe Bend Station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
