. "Erudina Station", Yunta SA 5440

Erudina is located approximately 160 km due north of Yunta, 110 km north east of Hawker, 300 km north east of the major store sheep selling centre of Jamestown, 420km north, north east of the Dublin livestock selling centre and 480 km north, north east of Adelaide. (All distances are approximate) It has an area of 905km2 (approx) and a Pastoral Board max rating of 14000 DSE or 2800 cattle. It has been held within the same family connections for almost 100 years.

Erudina is comprised of relatively flat to gently undulating plains of low shrublands with bluebush, bladder saltbush and blackbush with mitchell grass flats and river red gum lined water courses with white tea tree, sandhill wattle and lemon scented grass and a variety of other grasses, herbages and clovers. Having carried mainly sheep in the past, it is considered, with an upgrade to the waters and fencing on the property, that it is ideally suited to cattle.
Complementing the property is the (approx) 259 km2 (100 sq miles) of flood out country located within its boundaries. This area floods from time to time as a result of the outflows of the Wilpena Creek and Siccus river at their junction on Erudina, after a significant rainfall event on the eastern slopes of the Flinders ranges, thus providing an abundance of feed and herbage regeneration in the ensuing seasons.

Building improvements are in good condition generally and consist of a significant 5 BR homestead, 10 stand shearing shed (6 equipped) shearers quarters and the usual associated station outbuildings. Fences and waters could use some attention to maximise the allowable carrying capacity.

The land known as Billeroo West is approximately 16 km from the eastern boundary of Erudina and is comprised of some 647km2 (250 miles2 approx) of calcareous plains of low bluebush, shrubland, bladder saltbush interspersed with spreads of Mulga, blackoak, sandhill wattle over desert cassia and cane grass to the western portion and plains country with low bluebush flats, windmill and barley grass, mitchell grass, prickly wattle and blackbush to the east. Water is supplied by a number of dams and mills on this land.

Billeroo West has a maximum Pastoral Board rating of 6000 DSE or 1200 cattle.

Improvements consist of a 6 stand shearing shed and steel sheep yards. There are no other useful improvements with the shearing of stock from Billeroo west, completed at Erudina.

Fences and waters could use some attention to maximise the allowable carrying capacity.

Both leases expire in March 2032 without additional top up, which should happen soon as part of the lease assessment process.
