Murchison House Station

[1] The property is mostly situated on the ancient limestone Toolonga escarpment, which was formed some 150 million years ago as a coral reef.

The reef has lithified and now rises to around 180 m (590 ft) above sea level and forms the rugged terrain down the middle of the station.

[2] The property was established in 1858 by Charles von Bibra, who produced meat and wheat for the nearby lead mines at Galena[1] and bred Arab horses on the lease.

[6] Western Australia's first civil aviation fatality occurred near the property in 1921 when two people died when a Bristol Tourer crashed.

However, his properties and business interests in India declined and/or were misappropriated in his absence, leading to Murchison House being placed in liquidation in 1996.
