The History of Neds Corner Station

Trust for Nature acknowledges and respects the Traditional Owners of this land.

Trust for Nature acknowledges the Traditional Owners of Neds Corner Station, the First Peoples of the Millewa Mallee.

Ngintait Traditional Owners lived on and managed the land that includes Neds Corner for many thousands of years.

The property features numerous important cultural heritage sites including ancestral burials, scar trees that provided bark for canoes, shields and other items, oven mounds, fireplaces, stone tool artefacts and shell middens.

Neds Corner is culturally important to Traditional Owners today and they participate and contribute knowledge to its ongoing management.

By 1948, the property was sold to the Kidman Pastoral Company, becoming part of its agricultural empire which encompassed three per cent of Australia.

Trust for Nature purchased the property in 2002 and under its management, in collaboration with volunteers, donors and other supporters, the landscape of Neds Corner Station has been transformed. Its significant cultural sites are being protected and its native vegetation restored through working with Traditional Owners.

A healthy environment equals healthy people, healthy communities, and a bright future for generations to come.
