Riveren Station operates as a pastoral lease functioning as a cattle station within the Northern Territory of Australia.
Positioned approximately northwest of Lajamanu and southwest of Daguragu in the Victoria River region, Riveren was initially part of the larger Inverway Station. This original property was subdivided into Inverway, Bunda, and Riveren Stations. Each of these properties is situated within the headwaters area of the Victoria River. The boundaries of Riveren adjoin Inverway to the east, Limbunya Station to the north, Birrindudu to the south, and the Daguragu Aboriginal Land Trust also lies to the east.
The landscape features black soil plains dominated by pastures composed of Mitchell grass, Queensland blue grass, and silky brown top grasses. Areas with red soil are characterized by growths of spinifex.
Spanning an area of , Riveren supported a cattle population of around 23,000 in 2012.
In 2013, Mick and Georgia Underwood sold both Riveren and Inverway Stations to the Indonesian corporation Japfa Santori for an estimated sum of 35 million. This transaction followed the 2011 live export ban introduced by the Gillard government, which had negatively affected livestock sales; notably, the property had failed to sell at auction in 2012 when it passed in at a bid of 19 million.
Terry Underwood has chronicled her experiences at Riveren in her memoirs titled In The Middle of Nowhere and Riveren: My home, Our country.
