Bullo River Station
Bullo River Station is a working cattle station and homestead covering 500,000 acres of the Northern Territory.
Bullo River is both a working pastoral property and conservation sanctuary. The station is a birdwatchers’ paradise and is also home to a diverse range of wildlife.
Our station operates in harmony with the land, balancing sustainable farming methods with best-practice land management. Pristine landscape, carved with gorges, decorated with waterfalls and defined by the Victoria and Bullo rivers, make Bullo River Station one of the most breathtakingly beautiful cattle stations in Australia.
The list of daily tasks needed to manage the 4,000 strong Brahman-cross herd across half a million acres can look exhausting. However it’s certainly interesting and lots of fun.
You’ll get out on the station in four-wheel drives, all-terrain vehicles or even on horseback. Activities include bore checks, lick runs and cattle yard work. There’s poddy calves to be fed and muster training to do. Or take a farm tour to learn about everything we do.
Cattle mustering is seasonal over the dry season months June to September and guests are welcome to watch.
Bullo River Station: A Rich History of Men & Women with Cattle in their Blood
In the 1960’s, a pastoral lease for Bullo River Valley Station was granted. That brought about the arrival of pastoralists, stockmen and women who faced oppressive conditions and isolation. They poured their blood sweat and tears into developing Bullo into a viable cattle station.
We are still compiling a great deal of Bullo’s early history. It is clear through early imagery that Aboriginal people worked at the station, contributing to its early development. The Aboriginal men were known to be expert stockmen, with a unique talent for finding wayward stock.
The number and breeds of cattle have changed over the years, as have the stockmen who mustered across the valleys. The homestead and station has expanded and modernised. But the spirit of the bushmen and women who pioneered cattle in the outback remains in our team today.
Welcome To Our Homestead
Near the convergence of the Victoria and Bullo rivers, where the savannah is transformed into an oasis of rolling green lawns, shady eucalypts and iconic boab trees, you’ll find Bullo River Station’s iconic homestead.
Look forward to generous and comfortable rooms, tasty, wholesome meals and a cold drink at the end of the day. These comforts will revive guests who have spent the day enjoying the station’s many activities.
Breakfast is usually served outside on the homestead verandah. Lunch can often be a picnic basket filled with fresh goodies just perfect to enjoy by waterholes, billabongs or under the shade of a magnificent boab tree. Dinner is best enjoyed under the stars, in the light of a campfire with new friends. Barramundi and prime organic beef from the surrounding pastures dominate the evening menu. We can cater for your dietary requirements.
