Ninghan Station - 7 June 2021

After watching Ronny Dahl and Torbs visiting this station, we just had to go see it for ourselves. At just over 5 hours from home, it is quite close. Greg, Briar, Sandri & Mitch joined us on this trip, and it was also Greg's shakedown trip with the Jayco Flamingo pop-top caravan. There is a video of this trip on Youtube too.


On top of Bulgaburra Rock, looking towards Amphitheater Rock.

A Drone shot looking North across Lake Moore, and we were fortunate there was water in it
after some recent heavy rains.

Home for three days. We were camped at the base of Mt Singleton (background),
near the old farm shearing quarters, which had warm showers and flushing toilets.
At $15/night it is very reasonable.

Greg & Briar in the creek bed right next to the homestead.

About a third of the way up Watheragabbing Hill (474m), with Mt Singleton (678m)
in the distance.

Inspecting on of the large, intricate ant-nest entrances. The ants are huge (6cm or so) and
not to be messed with. 

Greg next to his 'Tuner.

Standing atop one of the several mine-shafts/wells on the farm. No fence around it, just as it should be.

Parked at the base of Amphitheater Rock. I had the Rhino Rack awning out
to dry it in the breeze, after some rain the night before. June-Aug are
the rainy months in Southern WA, so it is par for the course when bush-camping.

There are several water crossings on the farm, which have
nice firm bases, so good fun. Just drive slowly (Mitchell!)


A beautiful, flat spot next to one of the few windmills on the farm. We had hoped to
spot some Brumbies, but all we saw were some Merino's and the obligatory Roo's.

On top of the best lookout on the station; Sidetrack lookout (~410m).
It has a spectacular view over Lake Moore (below).


Our final morning, enjoying some rusks and coffee before we packed up.
Just look at that red soil; dark, deep red. Amazing.
