Mount Ebenezer Station operates as a cattle station under a pastoral lease in Australia's Northern Territory.
Location
The lease is situated roughly northeast of Yulara and southwest of Alice Springs. It shares boundaries with several pastoral leases: Angas Downs lies to the west, Lyndavale to the south, Erldunda to the southeast, and Palmer Valley to the northwest. The property is traversed from east to west by the Lasseter Highway.
History
The station derives its name from Mount Ebenezer, a peak within the Baselow Range found on the property. This name pays tribute to Ebenezer Flint, who provided supplies to local telegraph stations in 1871. In 1822, pastoralist Richard Warburton established Erldunda Station east of Mount Ebenezer and probably passed through this region while rounding up stray cattle. Nearby, William Liddle took possession of Angas Downs Station in 1922.
Operations at the Mount Ebenezer Roadhouse were interrupted in 2012 after a lease was revoked following an incident involving a member of the Indigenous community.
The property was placed on the market in 2014 along with other estates located in the Kimberley and Northern Territory areas. By 2019, ownership transferred to the Stanes family, who also own Lyndavale, NT; De Rose Hill, South Australia; and additional holdings.
