Mount Elizabeth Station is a pastoral lease that operates as a cattle station in Western Australia. It is situated about north of Fitzroy Crossing and approximately east of Derby, Western Australia in the just off the Gibb River Road in the Kimberley region. The abundant water supply and multiple food sources of the area enabled Aboriginal peoples to develop a rich cultural life in the area. Examples of both Bradshaw and Wandjina artwork can be found on rock outcrops at the station. Gold Prospector and explorer Frank Hann visited the area in 1898 and named Mount Elizabeth after his mother.〔 Pioneer, Frank Lacy, drove a herd of cattle across the Kimberley and established the station in 1945. Both Lacy and his wife, Theresa, are buried near the homestead. The Lacy family has held the lease since 1945 and started offering accommodation to tourists in addition to rearing cattle in the 2000s. As of 2014 the property was still on the market along with at least 15 others in the Kimberley and Northern Territory. The property is stocked with approximately 6,000 head of cattle.〔 ==See also== *List of ranches and stations *List of pastoral leases in Western Australia 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mount Elizabeth Station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
