MURCHISON HOUSE STATION
A
s the name suggests, this 150-yearold, 350,000-acre property sits along the northern banks of the mighty Murchison River. Only a short drive from the seaside town of Kalbarri, this property is well-known to many who have either taken advantage of off-grid camping on the station or who have ventured out for a day trip around the property's many tracks.
With over 60km of rugged WA coastline and more than 30km of Murchison River floodplain, those properly equipped are sure to find the perfect spot. For those less adventurous or just starting out, the homestead campground might be more suitable. An abundance of water around the property ensures that the wildlife is prolific, not only along the river’s edge but further inland due to the presence of multiple springs and permanent soaks.
