OUR STATIONS
Lake Torrens Station
Saltbush and native grasses running to the great salt lake — 43,300 hectares.
THE COUNTRY
Geographic diversity west of the Flinders Ranges
Lake Torrens Station takes in 43,300 hectares of pastoral country 57 kilometres north-west of Hawker, west of the Flinders Ranges. Established in 1854, the station offers remarkable geographic diversity, from range-side rises to the shimmering bed of Lake Torrens itself.
The country carries a rich coverage of saltbush and native grasses and is rated to run around 1,360 cattle or 6,800 sheep equivalents.
The station — and the lake — take their name from Sir Robert Richard Torrens, best known for the Torrens land title system introduced in 1858 and since adopted around the world. The Doman family added the station to the portfolio in August 2024.

STATION NOTES
Named for the man who changed land ownership
Sir Robert Torrens’ title system — born in South Australia — made land ownership simple, secure and transferable. It’s a fitting namesake for a station that anchors the western edge of our corridor of country.
