Hamilton Downs Station, Pastoral lease and cattle station in MacDonnell Region, Australia.

Hamilton Downs Station extends across 2034 square kilometers of rural landscape in Northern Territory, supporting extensive cattle operations throughout the year.

The station began operations in 1910 under Sid Stanes Jr. and Ted Harris, receiving its name from a spring near Jay Creek discovered by explorer Stuart.

Five buildings at Hamilton Downs Station received heritage status in 1993, preserving the architectural elements of early Australian pastoral settlements.

The property functions as a youth camp since 1978, providing educational experiences while maintaining its status as an operational cattle station.

Queen Elizabeth II selected Hamilton Downs Station as a destination during her 1963 Australian tour, marking a notable event in the property's history.
