Cooinda
Cooinda Station is a pastoral lease that currently operates as a cattle station in Queensland. The property is situated approximately north of Winton and southeast of Hughenden. The ephemeral Werna Creek runs through the property. The property is predominantly Mitchell and Flinders grass country. Cooinda was acquired by Balgarnie and Martin at some time prior to 1896. At this time it was running sheep. Over 10,000 sheep were sold off from the property in 1897. In 1898 a bore was being sunk at the property to guarantee water for stock. It was completed in early 1899 when it reached a depth of and produced a flow rate of per day. Robert Edward Balgarnie still owned the property when he was married in 1906. The Consolidated Pastoral Company acquired Cooinda in 2010 at which time the property occupied an area of and runs up to 4,000 head of cattle.

Pastoral Lease
A pastoral lease, sometimes called a pastoral run, is an arrangement used in both Australia and New Zealand where government-owned Crown land is leased out to graziers for the purpose of livestock grazing on rangelands. Australia Pastoral leases exist in both Australian commonwealth law and state jurisdictions. They do not give all the rights that attach to freehold land: there are usually conditions which include a time period and the type of activity permitted. According to Austrade, such leases cover about 44% of mainland Australia (), mostly in arid and semi-arid regions and the tropical savannahs. They usually allow people to use the land for grazing traditional livestock, but more recently have been also used for non-traditional livestock (such as kangaroos or camels), tourism and other activities. Management of the leases falls mainly to state and territory governments. Under Commonwealth of Australia law, applicable only in the Northern Territory, they are agreements ...

Artesian Aquifer
An artesian aquifer is a confined aquifer containing groundwater under positive pressure. An artesian aquifer has trapped water, surrounded by layers of impermeable rock or clay, which apply positive pressure to the water contained within the aquifer. If a well were to be sunk into an artesian aquifer, water in the well-pipe would rise to a height corresponding to the point where hydrostatic equilibrium is reached. A well drilled into such an aquifer is called an ''artesian well''. If water reaches the ground surface under the natural pressure of the aquifer, the well is termed a ''flowing artesian well''. Fossil water aquifers can also be artesian if they are under sufficient pressure from the surrounding rocks, similar to how many newly tapped oil wells are pressurized. From the previous statement, it can be inferred that not all aquifers are artesian (i.e., water table aquifers occur where the groundwater level at the top of the aquifer is at equilibrium with atmospher ...

Storage sheds and cattle yards are also sited near the homestead. Other structures depend on the size and location of the station. Isolated stations will have a mechanic's workshop, schoolroom, a small general store to supply essentials, and possibly an entertainment or bar area for the owners and staff. Water may be supplied from a river, bores or dams, in conjunction with rainwater tanks. Nowadays, if rural mains power is not connected, electricity is typically provided by a generator, although sol ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
