Moroak Station

Location in Northern Territory

Moroak Station is a pastoral lease that operates as a cattle stationinNorthern Territory, Australia.

The property is situated approximately 70 kilometres (43 mi) east of Mataranka and 98 kilometres (61 mi) north east of Larrimah. The Roper River flows through the property and acts as the southern boundary of Moroak and the northern boundary of Elsey Station.[1] Moroak is bounded to the north by Mountain Valley Station, to the west by Goondooloo and to the east by Flying Fox Station.[2]

The traditional owners of the area are the Mangarrayi people. Some of the Mangarrayi work as rangers along the river.[3]

Alfred Thick owned the property in 1949.[4]

In 2013 Moroak was run in conjunction with Goondooloo, and together the leases occupy an area of 2,329 square kilometres (899 sq mi); the lands were stocked with 25,000 head of Brahman cattle.[5] The property is run by Tony Davis, who acquired it in 2004[6] for A$10 million,[7] and who also owned Limbunya Station. Between 2004 and 2014 Davis built 40 additional dams, had the property completely fenced and made improvements to the homestead.
