Mount Ebenezer Roadhouse (demolished) - NT

The property takes its name from the 100 metres (328 ft) peak Mount Ebenezer that is found in the Baselow Range within the station boundaries. Mount Ebenezer is named after Ebenezer Flint, who was delivering supplies to telegraph stations in the area in 1871.[2] The pastoralist Richard Warburton, took up Erldunda Station to the east of Mount Ebenezer in 1822. Warburton is thought to have passed through the area while mustering stray cattle. William Liddle took up the nearby Angas Downs Station in 1922.[2] The Mount Ebenezer Roadhouse was closed for several months in 2012. When William O'Donnell signed a lease to reopen the roadhouse, he was driven from the property by a spear-wielding Indigenous man. The owners of the roadhouse terminated the contract shortly afterwards.[3] In 2014, the 1,640-square-kilometre (633 sq mi) property was on the market along with at least 15 others in the Kimberley and Northern Territory.[4] By 2019, the Stanes family, who also owned Lyndavale, NT; De Rose Hill in South Australia; and other smaller properties in SA, had bought the property.[5]
