GABYON STATION
he second largest pastoral lease in the Shire of Yalgoo, this 271,500-hectare (almost 671,000 acres) working sheep station offers visitors a 'full' outback experience. Visitors have the opportunity to explore the sprawling property by horseback, motorbike or even on foot. SSAA members are able to hunt on the property with an area also set aside for clay target shooting. The region is also well known for gold strikes and prospectors are invited to try their luck. Gabyon has worked hard to ensure that they keep their accommodation rates affordable and offer everything from unpowered camp sites, to rooms in both the rustic shearers' or homestead quarters. A communal camp kitchen and ablution facilities are also available. The family also offers the opportunity to come and share a meal with them at the main homestead and enjoy some authentic WA outback hospitality. Volunteering: Anyone who is willing to work hard and enjoy this way of life is welcome to stay and join in on the fun. There is always something that needs to be done around here, and we can guarantee you won't get bored. Every helping hand is greatly appreciated!
Best time to visit: The cooler months. Between December and February the temperature often exceeds 40°C.
