Kings Creek Station lies 36 kilometres from the magnificent Kings Canyon (Watarrka)<\/a><\/strong> and is set amongst majestic desert oaks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kings Creek Station is a cattle station with a range of accommodation options from camping to luxury tents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A range of supplies, meals and drinks can be bought at the station shop. You could even try one of our famous Kings Creek camel burgers!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The station is the largest exporter of wild camels in Australia and sells camels for live export, live domestic sales and meat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our History<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Kings Creek Station was established in 1981 by Ian and Lyn Conway. This was originally vacant crown land with no infrastructure \u2013 no water, no electricity, no communications, no roads and no buildings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Originally the vision was to run the Station as a cattle\/camel property. Since then tourism has taken precedence although Kings Creek Station still runs cattle and exports camels. Kings Creek covers an area of 1800 sq kilometres of which 100 sq K\u2019s is Freehold, the remainder being Leasehold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ian Conway is the grandson of William Liddle, who, in 1907, was the first permanent pastoralist in the Kings Canyon region. In 1929 Liddle took up a pastoral lease known as Angas Downs Station. Liddle\u2019s first wife was an Arrente woman from Alice Springs. Bill and Mary had four children, the eldest being Hilda, Ian\u2019s mother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ian\u2019s father, Mortimer, was also born to an Arrente Woman and a white pastoralist. Mortimer attended the first school in Alice Springs in 1914. He then went on to work for Syd Kidman for 20 odd years as a boss drover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lyn Conway was born in Adelaide and met Ian in Alice Springs. When they first started Kings Creek Station, Lyn was more or less thrown into the deep end as there was no infrastructure. Everyday chores were very difficult especially with 2 young children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
