HISTORY:
Springvale Station was established in 1879 by Alfred Giles as part of Dr Browne's Northern Territory pastoral empire. The complex includes the homestead, store, Ronan family grave site and the immediate surrounding grounds to the river's edge.
The homestead was built in 1879 and was completed later the same year. Springvale was one of the first two substantial homesteads built in the Katherine region and the only one which remains.
The homestead and station also has associations with the Territory's commercial and agricultural development, World War II and Australian literature. Springvale was the head station and base for Dr Browne's pastoral interests in the Northern Territory. Stations which were established and stocked from Springvale included Delamere, Willeroo, Newcastle Waters and Bonrook under the overall management of Alfred Giles.
Springvale was also the central point for travellers passing between Darwin, South Australia and Queensland. During World War II the property became an Aboriginal labour settlement under joint Military and Native Affairs Branch control.
In 1949 George Hunt sold the home to noted Australian writers Tom and Moya Ronan. It was from here that Tom Ronan contributed some of his most noted literary works. (NT Government Heritage Register).
Potential buyers are invited to submit an offer by Expression of Interest before 30 June 2021.
