St James Station, New Zealand

It was renowned for its horse sales and covered an area of 78,196 hectares (193,230 acres).

The government's purchase was a means of protection from intensive farming and development as well as guaranteeing public access.

[1] The St James Walkway is a popular tramping track that passes through the area.

The New Zealand Cycle Trail, announced by the Prime Minister as a boost for the economy, received funding for a St James Cycle Trail,[2] which traverses part of the station.
