The Environmental Account covers multiple large-scale cattle stations in the Darwin Coastal, Pine Creek and Ord Victoria Plain bioregions, including Camfield, La Belle, Pell Airstrip, Montejinni and Delamere. Situated across the tropical and sub-tropical savannas of the Northern Territory, these AACo properties span diverse landscapes, from open grassy woodlands to sandstone escarpments and floodplains. Camfield, Montejinni, and Delamere lie within the Victoria River District, while Pell Airstrip and La Belle are positioned closer to the Top End. Each property is characterized by distinct seasonal climates and vegetation assemblages where native sorghum grasses, floodplain vegetation and perennial pasture species support extensive cattle grazing.

The properties retain varying degrees of ecological value, with areas of intact native vegetation and habitat heterogeneity supporting biodiversity alongside productive rangeland systems. Seasonal monsoonal rainfall patterns shape the ecological dynamics, promoting rapid grass growth and replenishment during the wet season, followed by a pronounced dry season. While these regions offer productive grazing opportunities, they are also challenged by invasive pasture species, woody weeds, feral herbivores, and destructive shifts in fire regimes. Land management practices, including rotational grazing, prescribed burning, and infrastructure improvements, are employed on some properties to support both cattle production and the long-term resilience of the savanna ecosystems.

These stations are integral to AACo’s broader northern breeding operations, providing a reliable source of cattle that are later transferred to backgrounding and finishing properties across the Barkly region and Queensland, and selling direct to markets in the NT.
