Murchison House Station is one of the oldest pastoral stations in Western Australia.
We welcome visitors from 1st April to 31st October every year
Murchison House Station is located just 12 kilometres east of Kalbarri Western Australia.
Come and visit a working station with over 150 years history.
Camping is available at the Homestead Campground or for those equipped with a 4WD you can Bush Camp out on the station on the North side of the Murchison River
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. The station is open for camping from April- October each year
A four kilometre gravel road provides access from the Kalbarri -Ajana road to the historic Homestead which is situated on the southern banks on the Murchison River and set amongst hundreds of large shady gum trees. Camping is available here on the rivers edge.
The station has over 60 km of rugged Indian Ocean shoreline and over 30 km of Murchison river flood plains. Because of the plentiful supply of water, with many permanent soaks and springs, the wild life and bird life is abundant. 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. Murchison House Station is where the outback meets the ocean, which makes exploring in your 4WD whilst camping here an interesting and challenging prospect. The pristine wilderness of the Station, and the Murchison River is there to be appreciated, and is less than one day's drive from Perth.
Heritage
Gee Gei Outcamp Murchison House Station
Originally established in 1858 by Charles von Bibra, the rich history of Murchison House has been shaped by the hands of pioneering battlers, wealthy wool merchants and even an Indian Prince! It is one of the oldest continually working pastoral leases in Western Australia.
Today, it is a family owned and operated venture endeavouring to continue the iconic pastoral traditions and lifestyle and offer visitors an insight into outback life. Our commitment to innovation, conservation and preservation aims to continue an economically, ecologically and environmentally sustainable and diverse pastoral enterprise.
Pastoral Station
Baby Brahmans Murchison House Station
Murchison House Station is located on the Murchison River with the Homestead situated on the south side, and the pastoral lease across the river on the north side. Murchison House is still a working station. Historically a sheep and wheat property, the station now focuses on the production of beef cattle and rangeland goats.
The station concentrates on goat mustering and trapping over the summer months when the movement of stock can be controlled by water supply and grazing access.
Below is a link to a short YouTube video which features photos from a mustering season on MHS
Wilderness
Murchison River at Murchison House Station
Murchison House Station offers you the opportunity to find your own little bit of paradise in the bush. Our pristine wilderness, bounded by the Indian Ocean to the west, the Kalbarri National park to the north and Murchison river to the east , will give you plenty of beautiful spots to choose from. You might even want to explore and set up camp in a different place each day. People who enjoy true bush camping will know that there are not many places relatively close to Perth where you can go and feel like you are really away from it all.
