Elsey Station Homestead

Outside the entrance to the Mataranka Homestead Resort is a replica of the Elsey Station Homestead, constructed for the filming of We of the Never Never, which is screened daily at noon in the resort bar. The low-lying and overgrown ruins of the actual site are a few hundred metres past the Elsey Cemetery.
