The Garden
Location in the Northern Territory

In the 1940s a large poll shorthorn cattle herd was kept on the station.[4][5][6]

In 1965, a portion of land was excised from the pastoral lease and was gazetted as the "Trephina Gorge Scenic Reserve". This land was renamed in 1978 as the "Trephina Gorge Nature Park".[7][8]

Quad-biking tours currently operate on the station.[9]
