Visit one of Western Australia's oldest working pastoral Stations!
Murchison House Station is a 350, 000-acre pastoral station just a short drive from the coastal resort town of Kalbarri, which is located 650 km north of Perth, Western Australia. Visitors can enjoy unique local history, wildlife and wildflowers (in season) on this 150-year-old working station.
Camping is available at the Homestead Campground, or for those self contained and equipped with a 4WD, Bush Camping is available out on the station on the North side of the Murchison River.
The station has over 60 kilometres of rugged Indian Ocean shoreline and over 30 km of Murchison River floodplains. Because of the plentiful supply of water, with many permanent soaks and springs, the wildlife and birdlife are abundant. The Station is home to the northernmost breeding colony of rare and endangered Carnaby Cockatoos.
The terrain is rugged, spectacular and varied, with land systems ranging from coastal sand plains and dunes to river gorge country featuring the stunning red Tumblagooda sandstone that is known to the area. Guests with 4WD are welcome to explore the Station on self-guided trails or join tours, including 4WD Quad-bikes, Canoeing on the Murchison River, exploring the heritage buildings or simply enjoying spectacular stargazing.
