Clayton Station is in northern South Australia and is bouncing back from a decade of drought which saw the property destocked for a time.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The now-famous Birdsville Track was originally used as a route to bring cattle\u00a0 from Queensland’s Channel Country to the sale yards in Adelaide and later Maree.<\/p>\n
