RALLEN Australia has paid $70 million the Northern Territory cattle stations Tanumbirini and Forrest Hill stations.
Located near Daly Waters, south east of Darwin, the perpetual pastoral leases cover 559,370 hectares (1.38 million acre).
Rallen, a company with connections to South Africa, already owns the adjoining 376,000ha (929,116 acre) Kalala Station.
The sale remains conditional on Foreign Investment Review Board approval.

The operation is said to have consistently carried an average of around 37,500 cattle. Further improvements this year have increased the carrying capacity to 40,000 head.
The sale follows post auction negotiations conducted by Colliers International and JLL Agribusiness.
