Australian outback cattle station to house world's largest solar farm, powering Singapore

Electricity from $20bn farm on 10,000 sq km property in Newcastle Waters also planned to feed Northern Territory's power grid

A cattle station halfway between Alice Springs and Darwin is set to house the world's largest solar farm, with energy generated from the project to ultimately power Singapore.

Newcastle Waters, where casino mogul James Packer worked as a jackaroo for a year when his father, Kerry, owned the 10,000 sq km property, has been earmarked for the $20bn solar farm, according to the company responsible for the project, Sun Cable.
