Mount Nor' West Station is a pastoral lease in outback South Australia that once operated as a sheep station but is now a cattle station.
It is located approximately 30km (20miles) south of Marree and 50km (30miles) north west of Lyndhurst.
The lease was taken up by Henry McConville in 1874, when it occupied an area of approximately 700sigfig=1NaNsigfig=1. McConville already owned Myrtle Springs Station and would later acquire Witchelina and Angepena Stations.[1]
The station was acquired by Sidney Kidman at some time before 1899. At this time only a few cattle were being run on the eastern side of the property.[2] In 1908 a flock of 14,053 sheep were shorn at the station.[3] and the size of the station was recorded as being only 330sigfig=2NaNsigfig=2.[4]
In 1950, Kidman's estate disposed of Mount Nor' West, along with Witchelina, Myrtle Springs and Ediacara stations with a combined area of over 2000sigfig=1NaNsigfig=1. The purchasers were A.S. Toll, E.G. and J.L. Bonython, who had established the Myrtle Springs Pastoral Company.[5]
