Eringa Station operates as a cattle station under a pastoral lease in the South Australian outback and was once owned by Sir Sidney Kidman. In 2013, the land area was officially recognized as the locality of Eringa.
Situated to the south of Aputula and eastward of Kulgera, the landscape is characterized by hilly terrain and receives more rainfall on average compared to neighboring regions. The Eringa waterhole, historically within the station's perimeter, seldom runs dry.
History
Eringa was established prior to 1879 and initially owned by Arthur Treloar and J. J. Duncan, with Treloar overseeing its management. By 1886, the station supported a stock of 4,000 cattle alongside 150 horses.
In 1899, Sidney Kidman purchased Eringa, along with Austral Downs and Carcoory Stations in the same year. He later named his residence in Kapunda after this property.
By 1908, Eringa encompassed an area of . The region experienced heavy rainfall in 1910 that led to flooding of local creeks. Under the management of W. L. Franklin in 1955, the station maintained a herd of approximately 5,000 cattle.
Today, the station's buildings are in a state of disrepair, and the leasehold has been incorporated into Hamilton Station.
In April 2013, the pastoral lease area of Eringa was formally designated as a locality bearing its name.
