- Henbury_Station abstract "Henbury Station most commonly referred to as Henbury is a pastoral lease that operated as a cattle station in the Northern Territory until 2011. The area now conservation area known as the Henbury Conservation Project that also operates as a carbon farming project.It is situated about 83 kilometres (52 mi) south east of Hermannsburg and 242 kilometres (150 mi) east of Yulara.Henbury occupies an area of 5,273 square kilometres (2,036 sq mi) that extends from the MacDonnell Ranges across the open red plains to the Finke bioregion. The Finke River runs for about 100 kilometres (62 mi) through the property and has carved out many gorges containing permanent waterholes.The area was initially settled by Parkes and Walker in 1875 who had applied for the lease and then named it after there hometown in England. The first homestead was constructed along Ellery Creek in 1877 and the 2,130 square miles (5,517 km2) was theirs. A log cabin was built along the banks of the Finke River in 1886 which became the new homestead and still stands today, the property was carrying 3,000 head of cattle in the same year.In about 1902 the Mr. Breadon acquired the leasehold and experienced good falls of rain later the same year ensuring water an feed for stock for the next 12 months. Breadon sold Henbury and Todmorden Station to another man, Mr. Stan Young in 1923. The Breadens had made several improvements to both runs since they were acquired, and had agreed to stay on at Todmorden for the next 12 months. Young later went bankrupt seven years later and handed the property back to the Breadens.From 1956 through to 1957 Henbury and surrounding properties were struck by drought in which Henbury lost 4,000 cattle. The drought eventually broke in late 1957 when heavy rains fell causing localised flooding. The area experienced heavy rains in 1967 which caused the Finke River to flood closing roads around the property for a week.R M Williams Agricultural holding purchased the property in 2011 for A$13 million with assistance form the Australian Government. It was estimated that about 70% property was in a mostly natural condition and that valuable habitats contained within the station needed to be protected. The 17,000 cattle on the property were removed as the property was destocked to allow native habitats to regenerate. Introduced plants would also be removed and a population of feral camels were also to be culled, fire also need to be carefully managed.R. M. Williams Agricultural holdings went into receivership in 2013 leaving the future of the carbon farming and conservation project in limbo.".
