Anna Creek station, Cattle station in South Australia
Located between Coober Pedy and Lake Eyre, Anna Creek Station extends across 24,000 square kilometers of arid terrain in the Australian outback.
Established in 1863 for sheep farming, the station relocated in 1872 and changed to cattle ranching due to persistent dingo attacks on the sheep.
The Peake Ruins within the station grounds contain a telegraph office, cemetery, mine site, and lime kilns registered in South Australian Heritage.
Modern operations employ light aircraft and motorbikes for cattle mustering, maintaining a herd of approximately 17,000 cattle with a team of ten workers.
The station receives mail deliveries twice weekly through the Coober Pedy Oodnadatta One Day Mail Run despite its remote desert location.
