Bradshaw Station
Coordinates: 15°20′51″S 130°16′34″E / 15.34760°S 130.27607°E Bradshaw Station most commonly known as Bradshaw's Run is a pastoral lease that operates as a cattle station in the Northern Territory.
It is situated about 171 kilometres (106 mi) east of Kununurra and 235 kilometres (146 mi) south west of Katherine
The leases to lands along the Victoria River were acquired by Joseph Bradshaw in 1894, the property occupied an area of 4,800 square miles (12,432 km2). Bounded by the Victoria River to the south, Joseph Bonaparte Gulf to the west and the Fitzmaurice River to the north.
A second lease adjacent to the station of 2,000 square miles (5,180 km2) was granted to Frederick Bradshaw, Joseph's brother, in 1898. Frederick joined his brother in 1898 to stock the property with sheep and both leases, which shared a boundary, were being run as one entity.
By 1903 the homestead had been built using Cypress-pine and a herd of 40,000 cattle were supported on the property. Ivan Egoriffe, a Russian, was appointed as station manager at about the same time. Known as Ivan the Terrible he treated Aboriginal workers cruelly and many left the property. Eventually a few returned and tried to assassinate Egoriffe, but instead killed another man. Egoriffe had the man accused of the killing hung outside the homestead. Both Frederick Bradshaw and Egoriffe were murdered by Aborigines near Port Keats in 1905 when two men boarded their ship and killed them along with five of their companions in a revenge attack.
