Pine Hill Station (Northern Territory) Explained

Pine Hill Station is a pastoral lease that operates as a cattle station in the southern Northern Territory.

Location

It is located about 100km (100miles) north of Alice Springs in the Northern Territory.

History

The property was sold in 2019 by Filipino banker and property developer Romeo Roxas for 10 million in early 2019 to South Australian couple Greg and Sharon Vickers who also own properties around Keith as well as Delny and Delmore Downs Stations in the Northern Territory.[1]

Roxas acquired Pine Hill in 2016 after he bought Murray Downs and Epenarra Stations, south-east of Tennant Creek, in 2015 for over 20 million. All the properties were placed on the market late in 2018[2]

The Native title holders are celebrating the recognition of their rights on the western side of Pine Hill Station, north of Alice Springs.

Five Anmatyerr peoples were awarded native title over of land including the western in a special sitting of the Federal Court on the property in 2018.[3]
