cattle stations
Australian livestock farms
Cattle stations are large ranches in Australia where cattle are raised on vast tracts of land, often covering hundreds of square miles in the remote outback.
The term is the Australian equivalent of American ranches or South American estancias: He grew up on a cattle station in the Northern Territory.
The isolation and scale of these operations shaped much of Australia's rural character.
