Location in the Northern Territory

It is situated about 10 kilometres (6 mi) north of Camooweal and 120 kilometres (75 mi) north east of Alpurrurulam. The property shares a boundary with Adder and Avon Downs Station to the west, Alexandria Station to the north and Austral Downs to the south.[1] The Herbert River flows through the middle of the property. The Barkly Highway runs through the southern end of the property.[1]

The 6,679 km2 (2,579 sq mi) property was acquired by the Paraway Pastoral Company from the Western Grazing Company in 2016 along with Tanbar Station for A$130 million. The property was stocked with 35,000 head of Brahman, Brahman cross Santa, Charbray and Senegus cattle.[2]

Rocklands was established at some time prior to 1878 when it was owned by Crosthwaite.[4]
