Elsinora

Elsinora Station, most commonly known as Elsinora, is a pastoral lease that has operated as both a sheep station and a cattle station in outback New South Wales. It is situated approximately 160 km north of White Cliffs and 240 km north west of Bourke close to the Queensland border.

History
The station was established in 1882 by Edward Killen who took up the lease of virgin unimproved and waterless country with boundaries that had not been surveyed. The property occupied an area of 317000 acre and Killen stocked it with sheep.

By 1883 the owners had spent £13,000 on improvements, and by 1888 some 70,000 sheep were depastured at the station. Water boring was successful at Elsinora in 1893 when a flow rate of 1000000 impgal per day was produced.

In 1894 approximately 100,000 sheep were being shorn at Elsinora.

The property was owner by Killen and Co. in 1912, Killen also owned Mooculta Station.

Sidney Kidman acquired the property in 1918 along with Urisino and Thurloo Downs from Goldsbrough Mort & Co and held it until 1923.
