Map of Nilpena, SA 5730

Nilpena Station is a former pastoral lease in the northern Flinders Ranges in South Australia, since August 2025 acquired by the South Australian Government to become part of the Nilpena Ediacara National Park. Originally acquired by Thomas Elder and Robert Barr Smith in 1859, the property changed hands and uses as a sheep station and then cattle station over the years, until acquired by the Fargher family in the early 1980s. In 1985, the owners discovered Ediacaran fossils on the station, leading to further research and study by scientists on the property. In 2019, two-thirds of the property was sold to the Government of South Australia, to become part of the Nilpena Ediacara National Park when proclaimed in 2021. In August 2025, the rest of the property was sold to the government, enlarging the area of the national park and ensuring that the fossils are protected. The property is part of a bid for a large area of the Flinders Ranges to become a World Heritage Site.
