'''Mount Wood Station''' is one of seven former [[cattle station]]s now in [[Sturt National Park]],<ref>NSW National Parks and wildlife service, [https://ift.tt/2H28X78 Draft Plan of Management Sturt National Park], (2017) p 22.</ref> in the far north west corner of [[New South Wales]].
Mount Wood Station is outside of of [[Tibooburra, New South Wales]].
==History==
<blockquote>Mount Wood Station was taken up in late 1881 or early 1882 over an area of 368,385 acres (149,080 hectares). The number of stock peaked in 1890 when 64,000 sheep were listed for the property, equating to a stocking rate of 1 sheep per 6.25 acres. By 1900 this figure had fallen dramatically to 37,316 (1 sheep per 10.72 acres) and at the time of the last shearing in 1972, to 16,000 (1 sheep per 25 acres). Drought, invasion by rabbits and depletion of native vegetation led to this rapid decline in carrying capacity for sheep and the belated realisation that the ancient, nutrient poor ecosystem was unsuited for this type of activity (Condon 2002).<ref>NSW National Parks and Swildlife service, [https://ift.tt/2H28X78 Draft Plan of Management Sturt National Park], (2017) p23.</ref></blockquote>
