Wrotham Park
The rural locality of Wrotham's boundaries coincide with those of Wrotham Park station — on the Mitchell River's southern bank in Kuku-Yalanji and Wakara Country in the Mareeba Shire. The station homestead lies about 77 kilometres northwest of Chillagoe, 190 kilometres west-northwest of Cairns and 158 kilometres west of Port Douglas.
The Walsh River flows through the locality from the south. Its junction with the Mitchell marks the station's northwest corner. The Burke Developmental Road also passes through the property.
Alexander Charles Grant established Wrotham Park station in 1874 to supply beef to the miners on the Normanby and Palmer goldfields, but sold his share of the property in 1878.
The first [grazier] to take advantage of the beef famine on the Palmer was A. C. Grant, who left Havilah Station near Bowen with 300 head of cattle, and took up Wrotham Park for Messrs. Skene and Henderson, late in 1873. (Around the Campfire, Townsville Daily Bulletin, 16 May 1953)
