OUR STATIONS
Yadlamalka Station
The foundational hub — 100,000 hectares north of Port Augusta.
THE COUNTRY
Saltbush plains between the ranges and the lake
Yadlamalka Station sits on the arid plain between the Flinders Ranges and the southern tip of Lake Torrens, about 60 kilometres north of Port Augusta. Taken up as a sheep run in 1851, it is among the oldest pastoral leases in South Australia’s Far North.
Today Yadlamalka is the operational heart of the company — a working station that blends more than a century of pastoral heritage with modern water infrastructure, fencing and rotational grazing designed to keep the rangelands healthy.
The country carries hardy Dorper sheep and Angus cattle at conservative stocking rates, with saltbush, bluebush and native grasses providing reliable feed through dry seasons.

STATION NOTES
A working station, a family home
In the mid-twentieth century, under T. A. Doman & Co, Yadlamalka carried flocks of more than 13,000 sheep alongside around 200 head of cattle. The same conservative, water-first philosophy guides how the Doman family run the place today.
