The station was established in 1898 and is bounded by Gnarloo
Station to the north, Lake McLeod and Boolathana Station to the
East/South and the Indian Ocean to the west. The station is aprox
187000 acres measuring 80km of WA’s spectacular rugged coastline
north to south and aprox 14km east to west.
Some of the original cottages surrounding the Homestead include,
Smithies – originally the Black Smiths Workshop, The Stables – was
the tack room that held saddles and riding equipment, The Cottage - was the overseer's
residence, The Long Cottage - was the garage for the station with
the inspection pit still in one of the bedrooms, The Outcamp - was
the jackaroos quarters. The Shearing quarters were used for shearers
accommodation until 2005 when the station changed from merino sheep
to demaras (hairy not wooly therefore there is no shearing now)
