Tanumbirini Station is a pastoral lease that operates as a cattle station in Northern Territory. The property is situated approximately north of Elliott and west of Borroloola. The property abuts both the Bullwaddy Conservation Reserve and Amungee Mungee Station to the west. Tanumbirini also shares a boundary with Nutwood Downs to the west, Beetaloo Station to the south, Broadmere to the east and the Alawa Aboriginal Land Trust to the north. The Carpentaria Highway passes through the property. It currently occupies an area of and is currently owned by the Thames Pastoral Company who acquired the property from Sterling Buntine in 2012 for 30 million. The sale of the station included approximately 28,000 head of cattle. Several watercourses flow through the property including Arnold River, Cox River, Tanumbirini Creek and Williams Creek.〔 The station was established prior to 1908 when it was owned by Mr. Coop. In 2002 the property was acquired by Henry and Maria Townsend. The property had been suffering from overgrazing and the black soil plans were completely denuded of grass. At the time it was stocked with 10,000 cattle with an additional 2,000 to 3,000 feral cattle. The Townsends redeveloped the property and changed the management practices. They also managed to increase the stock on the property to 23,000 head of cattle before selling in 2007.〔 Buntine, who also owned Bedford Downs Station in Western Australia and Amburla Station in the Northern Territory acquired Tanumbirini in 2007 for an undisclosed sum. At the time it had an area of and was to be subdivided and auctioned before Buntine bought it. ==See also== *List of ranches and stations *List of the largest stations in Australia 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「Tanumbirini」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
