Mount Eba Station

At this time it encompassed as area of 5,538 square miles (14,343 km2) but was extremely isolated and had uncertain rainfall.

[3] The property was stocked intensively from 1878 to 1880, with numerous improvements, including the construction of buildings and a new woolshed, being completed.

[8] By 1914 the lessee was James Gemmel, who had rigged up a motor to his windmills to have sufficient water for his sheep.

At this time the 3,000-square-mile (7,770 km2) property was mostly running cattle, but the Jacobs intended to make the move back to sheep.

[12] Matheson joined the RAAF during World War II and served as a squadron leader.

[14] The property was acquired in 1979 by the Nitschke family who also owned neighbouring Millers Creek Station.

By 2007 the Prominent Hill mining lease commenced and parts of the station had to be destocked.
