Coongan Station (original) (raw)

Coongan Station is a pastoral lease that was once a sheep station but now operates as a cattle station in Western Australia. It is approximately 55 kilometres (34 mi) north of Marble Bar and 117 km (73 mi) south-east of Port Hedland on the Coongan River in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. The station was established at some time prior to 1896, when it was owned by a Mr. Hardey. The following year the station was owned by the Robinson brothers. The Robinsons, Percy and John, started with a flock of 2,000 sheep. Percy Robinson died in 1943 at the age of 77 years.
