Belele Station

The station is located in the Murchison region of Western Australia; the nearest town is Meekatharra, approximately 53 kilometres (33 mi) to the south east.

[5] Lee Steere, as the sole owner, expanded the Belele Pastoral Company to a size of 900,000 acres (364,217 ha), and also acquired nearby Annean Station.

[12] An elderly Irishman, Richard Butler Dobbyn, who lived on the station in a shack some distance from the homestead, went missing on the property in 1951.

A search was conducted for about two weeks, including the use of a Royal Flying Doctor Service plane, but was unable to find the man.

Dobbyn had come to the property in the 1880s and was given a block of land by the Lee Steeres when he asked to remain after he stopped working for the family in the 1940s.
