Mount House Station


Coordinates: 17°03′00″S 125°42′11″E / 17.05°S 125.703°E / -17.05; 125.703 (Mount House Station) Mount House Station, commonly referred to as Mount House, is a pastoral lease that operates as a cattle station in Western Australia.

It is situated about 125 kilometres (78 mi) north of Junjuwa and 245 kilometres (152 mi) north west of Halls Creek, and is accessed via the Gibb River Road. The homestead is situated along the Adcock River, a tributary of the Fitzroy River. The lease takes its name from the naturalist, Dr House. Mount House shares a boundary with Charnley River Station.

Frank Hann crossed the King Leopold Range and explored the area in 1898. He was impressed with the basaltic country around where Mount House and Mount Elizabeth Stations are found today.

Mount House was established early in the twentieth century along with many others in the region; the Blythe family owned and managed the property until the late 1960s. Joseph Blythe had managed Noonkanbah Station for the Emanuel brothers but eventually found the lands between the King Leopold and Philips Ranges.
