Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found. Ellenbrae, also commonly referred to as Ellenbrae Station, is a pastoral lease that operates as a cattle station in the Western Australia.
It is situated about 125 kilometres (78 mi) south of Wyndham and 260 kilometres (162 mi) north of Halls Creek not far off the Gibb River Road. The Durack River runs through a portion of the property.[1]
The property occupies an area of 4,047 square kilometres (1,563 sq mi),[2] and also operates as a tourist resort during the dry season.[3]
Byrne and Ann Terry acquired the property in 1983 and diversified into tourism. During the 1990s the area was plagued by successive bushfires with the herd of cattle dropping from 10,000 head to 3,000.[4]
In 2008 the pastoral manager was Susan Bradley and the station managers were Brian and Marcia Withell who were originally from New Zealand and took over running the property in 2005.[1]
A station employee was killed during the muster in 2010 when the helicopter he was piloting crashed an burst into flames.[5]
