Muloorina operates as a pastoral lease functioning as a cattle station and is officially recognized as a bounded locality within South Australia. The official naming and boundary definitions were formalized on 26 April 2013, honoring the area's traditional designation.

Situated roughly north of Marree and east of William Creek, the property shares a boundary with Lake Eyre. A section of the station is intersected by Frome Creek.

Spanning approximately , Muloorina supports both sheep and cattle grazing. The station was established prior to 1880 on land traditionally belonging to the Tirari people. By 1938, ownership rested with Stan and Elliot Price, while management duties were handled by Ellery Talbot. That same year, flooding occurred due to Frome Creek overflowing its banks.

In 1964, Donald Campbell and his team of around 500 individuals utilized the roughly property as their base during his attempt to break the land speed record on Lake Eyre, driving the Bluebird vehicle.

Within the boundaries of Muloorina lies the historic Lake Harry Date Plantation Site, which has been registered on the South Australian Heritage Register.
