Peedamulla


Coordinates: 21°50.719′S 115°37.595′E / 21.845317°S 115.626583°E / -21.845317; 115.626583 (Peedamulla) Peedamulla Station, often referred to as Peedamulla, is a pastoral lease that currently operates as a cattle station but once operated as a sheep station.

The homestead is located about 58 kilometres (36 mi) south east of Onslow and 75 kilometres (47 mi) south west of Panawonica in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. The property adjoins the coastline and the town of Onslow. Peedamulla is the Indigenous Australian word meaning plenty water.

The Cane River runs through the property, with the entire river delta found within the station boundaries. The delta is severely degraded as a result of overgrazing. The majority of the property is composed of spinifex country with areas of cracking clays found on the eastern side.

The Ashburton Land District was opened up for pastoral leases after the explorations of Francis Thomas Gregory in the 1860s.
