Beltana (or Beltana Station) is a pastoral lease in the Australian state of South Australia which operates as a sheep station. Established in 1854, it now covers an area of Шаблон:Convert on land located between Lake Torrens in the west and the Flinders Ranges in the east, about Шаблон:Convert north of the state capital of Adelaide.

History

The area was first established for pastoralism by John Haimes in 1854 and then surveyed by John McDouall Stuart in 1855.[1] In 1862 the property was acquired by Robert Barr Smith along with the flock of 17,705 sheep that the property was supporting.[2]

Thomas Elder took over lease no. 370 in 1862 forming Beltana Station and until the early 20th century there were as many as 60 living on the station.[3] Beltana Pastoral run for many years was the head station of the Beltana Pastoral Co. The station ran livestock, and a camel breeding programme for work on the Australian Overland Telegraph Line between Adelaide and Darwin, exploring and its own use.[4] It provided living quarters for the "Afghan" cameleers who managed the camels.[5]

21st century

On 26 April 2013, the land occupying the appropriate extent of the Beltana pastoral lease was gazetted by the Government of South Australia as a locality under the name Beltana Station. The word "station" was added to the locality’s name to distinguish it from the bounded locality and the government town of Beltana.[6]

On 18 Oct 2017, the station with an area at the time of Шаблон:Convert was sold at auction for A$8.4 million to South Australian pastoralist and Yadlamalka Station owner Andrew Doman.[1] The property holds up to 8,500 livestock and offers 4WD driving tracks and accommodation.[7] Paul and Karen Ellis of Camel Treks Australia relocated to Beltana Station in 2018.[8] Шаблон:As of, it covers an area of Шаблон:Convert on land located between Lake Torrens in the west and the Flinders Ranges in the east, about Шаблон:Convert north of the state capital of Adelaide.[9][6][10]
