Napperby Station
# Napperby Station

Napperby Station, also known as Napperby, is a 5,500 square kilometres (2,124 sq mi) pastoral lease used as a cattle station in the Northern Territory of Australia.

## History

The station was established on Anmatyerre tribal land. The Chisholm family have owned Napperby Station "on and off" since 1948.

Non-exclusive Native title was granted by the Federal Court of Australia to the Anmatyerr and Arrernte people over Napperby Station in 2013 by consent. Both claims were first filed in 2005 after mining leases were granted in the area. The Central Land Council submitted new applications for native title rights over the whole pastoral lease in 2011. The court sat at the small local community of Laramba.

## Current use

As of 2016 the station was managed by Roy and Janet Chisholm. They run Santa Gertrudis cattle on the property.
