DescriptionIt is located approximately {{convert|28|km|mi|0}} north east of Roxby Downs and {{convert|115|km|mi|0}} west of Lyndhurst. The station is bounded to the east by the ephemeral salt lake, Lake Torrens.[1] It is bounded to the south by Arcoona Station and to the north by Stuart Creek and Mulgaria Station. Both Roxby Downs Station and Purple Downs abut the western boundary. The landscape is composed mostly of Arcoona tablelands vegetated with saltbush and bluebush.[1] It is currently stocked with cattle.[3] Currently the lease is held by BHP Billiton and occupies an area of {{convert|2500|km2|sqmi|0}}.[1] The BHP Billiton Olympic Dam mine and processing plant is found in the north west of the station. The company also holds the lease for three other properties the surround the operations; Roxby Downs, Purple Downs and Stuart Creek Stations.[2] HistoryThe traditional owners of the area are the Kyuni peoples. The name Andamooka is a combination of two of their words meaning loaded bone or powerful bone, which is a reference to Aboriginal lore and an act of retribution.[3] The first European to visit was John McDouall Stuart who passed through the area in 1858 and made note of a waterhole in the area.[3] The station was established in 1872.[3] In 1880 the property was owned by Messrs Bowman and Young and was running sheep. The men had sunk several wells and also acquired a {{convert|450|sqmi|km2|0}} block of land for £3.000 from M. Wooldridge of Arcoona Station to enlarge the run which was stocked with 17,000 sheep and was in the process of erecting a shearing shed[4] By 1884 the {{convert|1357|sqmi|km2|0}} property was stocked with 45,000 sheep, 900 cattle and 250 horses. It produced 480 bales of wool from the years clip.[5] In 1885 the station encompassed an area of {{convert|1357|sqmi|km2|0}} and was stocked with 45,000 sheep, 200 cattle and 250 horses. The same year 680 bales of wool were produced.[6] By 1893 the property was owned by Messrs Beaton and Young.[7] By 1901 the lease had been abandoned like many others in the area but left under a caretaker, the property encompassed an area of {{convert|1240|sqmi|km2|0}}.[8] Opals were discovered on the property in 1930 by two drovers who saw the flashes of colour reflected from opals embedded in a hillside after a thunderstorm. The townsite of Andamooka was established shortly afterward.[9]In 1949 Andamooka occupied an area of {{convert|1200|sqmi|km2|0}} and was managed by Lloyd Pollard. Dingos had become problematic in the area and were killing stock.[10] The area had good rains in 1984 with the lakes partially filled, some years of drought followed, but heavy rains arriving again in 2007 with {{convert|112|mm|in|0}} rain over a couple of days and floodwaters coming within {{convert|20|m|ft|0}} of the homestead.[11] The land occupying the extent of the Andamooka Station pastoral lease was gazetted by the Government of South Australia as a locality in April 2013 under the name 'Andamooka Station'.[12] See also
