Coongan Station
Location in Western Australia
Coongan Station is a pastoral lease that was once a sheep station but now operates as a cattle station in Western Australia.
It is approximately 55 kilometres (34 mi) north of Marble Bar and 117 km (73 mi) south-east of Port Hedland on the Coongan River in the Pilbara region of Western Australia.[1]
The station was established at some time prior to 1896, when it was owned by a Mr. Hardey.[2] The following year the station was owned by the Robinson brothers.[3] The Robinsons, Percy and John, started with a flock of 2,000 sheep.[4]
In 1910, the property supported a flock of 17,500 sheep, which produced 250 bales of wool.[5]
