Alice Downs

Alice Downs is a cattle station in the Kimberley region that spreads across vast open grasslands covered with Mitchell, Flinders, and bundle grasses used for livestock grazing. The property manages thousands of cattle across multiple landholdings as part of the Springvale Aggregation.

The station was founded before 1901 under F. G. Taylor's direction and began with around 1,800 shorthorn cattle. These early years shaped its long history as a cattle-raising operation in the region.

The property works together with Traditional Owners who are developing tourism and employment opportunities for Indigenous communities in the area.

The property is best explored by vehicle, and visitors should prepare for remote conditions when moving between different areas of the station. The location requires advance planning as distances are large and services are limited.

The property is crossed by sections of the Panton River system with several creek tributaries including Wild Dog Creek and Purple Appleseed Creek that shape the landscape. These water sources are crucial for livestock operations in this otherwise dry region.
