Have not found the latest but Victoria Downs was once Australia's largest pastoral property and the largest cattle station in the world. In the 1920s, after a malaria epidemic, John Flynn built a hospital on the station which was operated by the Australian Inland Mission until it closed down in 1942. Both the original homestead, which is located some kilometres south of the current Victoria Downs homestead, and the hospital are now listed as part of the National Estate.

Anna Creek Station is the world's largest pastoral lease in the world. Covering over 30,100 sq kms, 5.5 million acres, it runs up to 18,000 head of cattle, depending on rain conditions. Anna Creek is huge - bigger than Belgium, half the size of England, five times larger than its nearest United States competitor and is about 8,000 sq. kms larger than its nearest rival in the N.T. of Australia, Alexandria Station.
