Kangerong Station is a pastoral lease functioning as a cattle station in Queensland, situated approximately northwest of Charters Towers and westward from Townsville. The property boasts dual frontage along the Basalt River and shares boundaries with Maryvale and Niall Stations, all located within fertile basalt terrain near the Clarke River, which feeds into the Burdekin River.
Encompassing 30 paddocks in addition to seven holding paddocks, the station has an estimated capacity to support around 9,000 head of cattle. On-site infrastructure includes a homestead, guest lodging, a dry-weather airstrip, staff accommodations, and steel livestock yards.
The lease was established prior to 1864, and by 1866 it spanned under the management of lessees Hann, Bland, Daintree, and Klingender.
In 2008, Kangerong was sold for AUD 16 million; however, the owner went into receivership in 2013. The property did not sell at auction in 2012 when it was passed in at AUD 12.75 million. Later, in 2014 during drought conditions and with a stocking level of 3,500 cattle, it was acquired for a reduced price of AUD 10 million by the Agricultural Investment Development Corporation representing an international client.
