Nookawarra Station
Situated approximately 350 kilometres (217 mi) to the north-east of Geraldton, it includes a good length[quantify] of the Murchison River within its boundary.It was observed at this time that the land was in good condition and was open grass plain lightly wooded with gum trees, acacia and mulga.[4] The Governor of Western Australia, Frederick Broome, visited the station as part of his tour of the Mid West in 1887.On 9 October 1985, Mervyn Tomkins ran out of fuel and crashed his airplane, a Cessna 150G VH-KPP, on the property while out mustering sheep with a number of jackaroos on the ground on motorcycles.[17][18] Mervyn Tomkins, station manager in 1997, was cleared of dumping a pair of jackaroos, Bradley John Carr, 21, and Benjamin Goeree, 19 in the desert in 1997.
