About the property:
William and Mary Hayes were one of the pioneer families of the Alice Springs District. They arrived in 1884 with horses and bullock teams loaded with steel telegraph poles to replace the original wooden poles on the Overland Telegraph line.

Today, six generations later, Bill and Jan Hayes and their family own and operate Ooraminna Homestead. The 450,000-acre property is situated between the Macdonnell Ranges and the Simpson Desert and includes the Ooraminna Ranges. It boasts magnificent red sand hills, weathered rocky outcrops, and a profusion of plant and wildlife.

This Central Australian cattle station allows you to gain insight into the workings of such a property, if you are lucky you may be able to be involved in a muster, or watch the chopper pilots bring the cattle in. See the different land formations, learn about the unique flora and fauna of the region and experience the fascinating views of the surrounding countryside.
