Kirkalocka

The station covers approximately 100 square kilometres (25,000 acres) of leasehold land.[1] At a meeting of the Mt Magnet Pastoralists subcommittee in 1944 at Kirkalocka they were given a demonstration of mulesing and the docking of lambs tails to prevent fly strike.[2] In 1949 Grazier Fred Broad recommend the Manchester method in preference to mulesing, having used it for 3 years on 1200 ewes at Kirkalocka with a 99% success rate and attributing the 1% failure to poor workmanship.[3][4] Kirkalocka is now predominantly a tourism based operation and offers caravan stop-over facilities and accommodation in shearers' quarters and the old homestead.[6] A dictionary preserving the Badimaya language was unveiled at Kirkalocka station in 2014.
