Destination Profile - Curtin Springs Station, Northern Territory
Curtin Springs is a working cattle station of 4166 square kilometres, owned and operated by the Severin family, with three generations of Severins currently living and working there. Peter Severin first came to the area in 1956 and opened his homestead for passing travellers on their way to Ayers Rock. Curtin Springs was the key stop that helped to open Ayers Rock up to tourists and is still a popular stopover for passing travellers.
Curtin Springs is located on the Lassiter Highway, 100 km east of Ayers Rock or 365kms south west of Alice Springs
Curtin Springs caters for the needs of the passing traveller by offering accommodation, camping, a licensed pub, meals, station tours, and camel rides. Wander around the homestead and visit the aviaries that are home to over 20 different types of Australian birds or say hello to the guinea pigs, emus and kangaroos. The bough shed (or local meeting place at the end of a hard days work) is a wonderful place to sit back and relax whilst soaking up the atmosphere of a true outback pub.
