Mt Bundy Station

Description

Established in 1911 the original property was 834 square miles. With its boundaries located within both, the now world famous, Litchfield and Kakadu National Parks.

The first lessee were brothers Frank and Hubert Fred Hardy, colourful and infamous buffallo hunters. The property was abundant with wild buffalo that had bred up on the floodplains of the Adelaide River and Mary River.

Hardy led a tough life hunting buffalo on horseback with a team of aboriginal stockmen and women and processed the buffalo for the lucrative hide market in Europe.

Fred Hardy was tragically killed in a horse race on the property in 1940 at the age of 59yrs. He is buried on a hill overlooking his beloved Mt Bundy Station.
