It is situated about {{convert|48|km|mi|0}} north west of Elliott and {{convert|295|km|mi|0}} south east of Borroloola. The property is surrounded by other pastoral leases including Hayfield, Amungee Mungee and Tanumbirini Stations to the north, Hayfield and Newcastle Waters Station to the west, Tandyidgee, Ucharonidge and Mungabroom to the south and the Mambilya-Rrumburriya Aboriginal Land Trust to the east. The Carpentaria Highway crosses the property through the north east corner and the Newcastle Creek flows through a good portion of the lease from east to west.[1] The property currently occupies an area of {{convert|10500|km2|sqmi|0}} and was purchased by the Dunnicliff-Armstrong family in 2002 for {{AUD}}20 million.[2] The Station was established in the 1890s by Harry M. Bathern who had overlanded cattle to many other properties in the Territory including Brunette Downs, Eva Downs and Emu Downs. When Bathern died in 1928 the property occupied an area of {{convert|3000|sqmi|km2|0}}.[3] Several bushfires in 1951 burnt out a total of {{convert|5000|sqmi|km2|0}} across Beetaloo and neighbouring Newcastle Waters stations, with Beetaloo reported to be one of the worst affected. Compounding the immediate loss of stock and grazing pasture, drought followed the fires leading to further losses of the surviving stock.[4] [5] The manager, Wally Bathern, expressed concern that when the wet season arrived, bogs would form around waterholes and the weakened cattle were at risk of becoming stuck.[6]See also
