The correct spelling is Ammaroo, but Amaroo is sometimes found for the locality in the public domain.

Ammaroo Station is a large cattle station 350 kilometres north-east of Alice Springs along the Sandover Highway, and in the Sandover region. It is found in the far western section of the huge Georgina Basin. Specimens of turquoise from the station are found in Museum Victoria and the Australian Museum. Specimens have occassionally been seen for sale. Large phosphate deposits are found on the station.

Coordinates are for the Amarroo airstrip on the station.
