Lambina Station operates as a pastoral lease situated in the remote regions of South Australia, evolving from a sheep station into a cattle station. It is positioned roughly northeast of Marla and northwest of Oodnadatta, with Granite Downs lying to its west and Todmorden Station to the east. The property is intersected by the seasonal flow of the Alberga River.
Spanning an area of , Lambina features landscapes dominated by gibber plains and stretches of the Pedirka desert, experiencing an average yearly rainfall of .
The station was founded prior to 1905 and encountered drought conditions early in its history. In 1906, owner Joseph H. Harding was compelled to sell livestock due to dry conditions but had replenished stock by 1908, including 1,580 sheep and 10 horses. Ownership transferred to T. Williams by 1914; following his accidental death in 1925, Joe Harden took possession within the same year. Harden marketed 22 truckloads of cattle in 1927. By 1934, under A. J. Robb's ownership, a circular fence was erected around the homestead to shield it from drifting sand. Significant flooding occurred in 1938 after heavy rainfall, submerging the homestead beneath six feet of mud and temporarily isolating station personnel.
In 2011, bushfires ignited by lightning consumed about of Lambina’s grazing territory. The blaze persisted for nearly two weeks before being controlled through a strategic backburn.
Following government-imposed land rent increases nearing 200% in 2012, proprietor Alan Fennell sought an independent valuation. While the valuer general estimated the unimproved land value at AUD 380,000, the independent assessment placed it at AUD 50,000.
In April 2013, the Lambina pastoral lease was formally designated as a locality under the name 'Lambina'.
