Mount Clere Station
Coordinates: 25°05′49″S 117°35′34″E / 25.0968918°S 117.5928185°E Mount Clere Station is a pastoral lease that once operated as a sheep station but currently operates as a cattle station in Western Australia.
The property is situated approximately 202 kilometres (126 mi) north west of Meekatharra and 213 kilometres (132 mi) south of Paraburdoo in the Gascoyne region.
The first European to visit the area was Charles Brockman during his exploration of the Gascoyne in 1876. Brockman named Mount Clere as well as the Minilya and Lyndon Rivers.
The early setters in the area, including the Davis brothers, who owned Mount Clere, experienced many problems with the local Aborigines, and had reported numerous cases of sheep stealing and cattle spearing in 1886. The store and homestead at Mount Clere were broken into and robbed in 1892.
Robert Edwin Bush, the owner of neighbouring Clifton Downs Station, acquired Mount Clere from John Sydney Davis in the early 1890s. Both properties encompassed 1,000,000 acres (404,686 ha) and in 1891 the combined holding was running 75,000 sheep.
