A slice of one of the best-known cattle stations on Darling Downs, the famed grazing lands of southern Queensland, is being offered as leasehold for a renewable power operator, as landholders seek a stake in the energy transition.

Up for grabs is a 1850-hectare portion of Lyndley Station, one of the largest freehold runs on the Darling Downs and once home to three generations of the Sparkes family, including Sir James and Sir Robert Sparkes, cattlemen and stalwarts of the Queensland National Party.
