Neds Corner Station : ウィキペディア英語版 | Neds Corner Station Neds Corner Station is a 30,000 ha nature reserve owned by the Trust for Nature. It is a former sheep grazing property on a pastoral lease abutting the Murray River and the Murray-Sunset National Park in the Mallee region of north-western Victoria, south-eastern Australia. ==History== The station was established in 1849 by Edward Meade ('Ned') Bagot, son of Charles Hervey Bagot, a wealthy South Australian pastoralist and parliamentarian. Bagot first visited the area in late 1847 when he retrieved the body of his friend Fred Handcock, a fellow pastoralist who drowned nearby.〔’’South Australian’’, 7 December 1847, p. 3.〕 Bagot started by grazing cattle but soon switched to sheep, using riverboats on the Murray to transport the wool. The property was named after Ned, a shepherd on the property. In 1876 the lease was sold to Robert Barr Smith. In 1920 the lease was taken over by the Neds Corner Pastoral Company. In 1946 the lease was sold again to the Kidman Pastoral Company, owned by Sir Sidney Kidman. In 2002 it was purchased by the Trust for Nature to be managed for conservation.
