Carandotta Station

The land is a mix of floodplain and high pebbly downs that is well covered in Mitchell and Flinders Grasses and lightly timbered with bloodwood, gidyea and coolibah trees.

Its traditional language region is the local government area of Shire of Boulia, including Walgra Station and Wolga, from Roxborough Downs north to Carandotta Station and Urandangi on the Georgina River, on Moonah Creek to Rochedale, south-east of Pituri Creek.

[3] The property was established by a syndicate of pastoralists headed by Oscar De Satge who took up three million acres along the Georgina River in 1884.

[4] Sidney Kidman acquired Carandotta in 1903 from Pitt, Son and Badgery, at the time the property was estimated as being 10,000 square kilometres (4,000 sq mi) in area for £65,000 on a walk-in walk-out basis.

[9] Later the lease was taken up as part of Headingly Station which occupies an area of 10,032 square kilometres (3,873 sq mi) of Queensland's Gulf country and is able to carry a herd of approximately 40,000 Santa Gertrudis cattle.
