13 - Victoria Downs, Queensland, Australia

S of Chapters Towers.

Victoria Downs, once Australia's largest pastoral property and the largest cattle station in the world, is synonymous with Sidney Kidman - the Cattle King. In the 1920s, after a malaria epidemic, John Flynn built a hospital on the station which was operated by the Australian Inland Mission until it closed down in 1942. Both the original homestead, which is located some kilometres south of the current Victoria Downs homestead, and the hospital are now listed as part of the National Estate.
