South Australian State Heritage Listed Kanyaka Cattle Station ruins established 1852. Flinders Ranges South Australia

            Ruins of Kanyaka Cattle Station in the Flinders Ranges.

Traditional owners of the area are the Barnggaria people.
The name of the station is taken from the Aboriginal word thought to mean ‘Place of Stone’.

Kanyaka Station was established as a cattle station in February 1852 by Hugh Proby. The son of Admiral Granville Leveson Proby (third Earl of Carysfort of Ireland), Proby emigrated on the ship ‘Wellington’ arriving 30 May 1851 at Port Adelaide.

On 30 August 1852, Proby drowned when he was swept from his horse crossing the swollen Willochra Creek while trying to herd a mob of cattle during a thunderstorm. 
He was buried the next day - aged 24 years. 

Proby also established the Mookra Range Run.
New owners took control of Kanyaka and Mookra Range – Mookra was renamed as Coonatto.

The ruins of Kanyaka Station complex and cemetery are South Australian Heritage Registered.
