Wooramel Station

Wooramel also has 60 kilometres (37 mi) of coastline frontage to the Indian Ocean and backs onto the Shark Bay world heritage area.

[2] The position of shepherd for the station was advertised in 1882,[3] and the owner of Wooramel in 1883 was John Winthrop Hackett.

Three bores were sunk during 1924 to a depth of 1,222 feet (372 m) and were producing flows of millions of gallons per day.

[11] Father O'Sullivan, the flying padre, was forced to land his Tiger Moth airplane on a claypan at Wooramel in 1956 after experiencing engine trouble and poor visibility.

[12] The area was struck by years of drought until large scale flooding occurred in late 2010 following heavy rains from a tropical low.
