Nallan Station – I Wish We Could Have Stayed Here

When I was researching our trip to Western Australia, I found several glowing reports of birders who had stayed at Nallan Station and even had meals catered.  Unfortunately, the owners haven’t been operating their station stay for several years.  Even though the Queen of the Murchison provided great accommodation in town, there would have been something special about staying at the station and waking up with the birds.  The accommodation is in the shearers accommodations and would suit backpackers or people seeking an authentic Aussie experience.  I did take a peek inside the quarters, although they have not been maintained since they aren’t being used, you can get a good idea of what to expect.
