Puttapa

Puttapa Station
Location in South Australia

Puttapa or Puttapa Station is a pastoral lease that operates as a sheep station.

It is located approximately 20 kilometres (12 mi) east of Beltana in the outback of South Australia.

The area that covered by Puttapa was once part of a much larger lease taken up by John Haimes in 1854 which eventually became Beltana Station.[1] The area was known as the Puttapa paddock and was eventually sold to Steven Lock in 1911 and became Puttapa Station.[1]

The land occupying the extent of the Puttapa pastoral lease was gazetted by the Government of South Australia as a locality in April 2013 under the name 'Puttapa'.[2]
